Figure 1. CD43 deficiency in BM-derived cells reduces atherosclerosis in Ldlr−/− mice.
(A) Atherosclerotic lesions were quantified in the aortic root after staining with oil-red O in CD43+/+BMT and CD43−/−BMT mice on high fat diet for 16 weeks; 3 representative images of the aortic root are shown. (B) Quantification of atherosclerotic lesions in aortas after staining with Sudan IV in CD43+/+BMT and CD43−/−BMT mice; 3 representative images of the aorta are shown.
