(A–E) Relative protein expression of inflammasome components in PBMC from AAA patients differs from that in PBMC from age-/sex-matched non-AAA vascular patients. Relative expression, as determined by normalization to GAPDH protein expression and examples of Western blots from PBMC lysates and are shown. (F) Plasma levels of mature IL-1α (p18) and IL-1β (p17) in AAA patients compared with controls. P values are derived from Wilcoxon signed rank test for paired samples.
