pAKT mainly expressed in macrophages in AAA tissues. Aortic sections from rats 28 days after PPE infusion were stained with antibody against pAKT and CD68 or CD31 respectively. (A) Antibody against pAKT was conjugated with Alexa Fluor 488 (green color) and antibody against CD68 or CD31 was conjugated with Alexa Fluor 546 (red color). Cell nucleus was stained with DAPI (blue color). Images obtained from fluorescence microscope were merged to locate the expression of pAKT in AAA tissues. (B) Positive cells of pAKT, or CD68, or DAPI or pAKT and CD68 cells in media and adventitia were counted and data present as mean and SD per HPF (200×). (C) Positive cells of pAKT, or CD31, or DAPI or pAKT and CD31 cells in media and adventitia were counted and data present as mean and SD per HPF (200×). HPF, High-power field..
