BMT decreases aortic leukocyte trafficking in 0.8 mg/kg/day Ang II-treated ApoE^−/− mice.

Flow cytometric analysis of aortic leukocytes in BMT and non-BMT mice that received Ang II infusion at 0.8 or 3 mg/kg/day for 5 days. Quantification of the numbers of (A) CD45 ⁺ cells, (B) CD45 ⁺ CD11b + cells, (C) CD45 ⁺ CD11b + Ly6C + Ly6G-monocytes and (D) CD45 + CD11b + Ly6C + Ly6G + neutrophils in aortas of Ang II-infused mice. (E) Representative dot plots shown for gated aortic cells of each positive population from BMT and non-BMT mice. Labels on both axes are on a log scale. *p < 0.05 (n = 5–6 per group).
