The anti-restenotic effect of CD47 modified stents in a rat carotid artery. Bare metal stents or thiolated pepCD47-modified stents were deployed in the carotid artery of rats. The stents were explanted after 14 days. (A) Representative Hematoxylin-eosin stain of explanted stents. Quantitative morphometric analyses of explanted stents demonstrate that (B) luminal stenosis and (C) Neointima/media area ratio are significantly (p ≤ 0.05) reduced as a function of CD47 immobilization. Data represent measurements from 10 individual explanted stents and are presented as mean ± SD.
