FCs vaccination modulates cytokines in initial atherosclerosis. The levels of IFN-γ (A), IL-6 (B), MCP-1 (C), and TGF-β1 (D) in immune ApoE−/− mouse plasma were determined at 1:2 dilution by ELISA according to the manufacturer's protocol. n = 8 in each group. Aortic roots were sectioned and stained with MCP-1. Representative photographs of MCP-1 immunostaining of PBS (E), macrophages (F), and FCs (G) immunized mice, respectively. Scale bars, 100 μm. (H) Quantification of MCP-1 expression in atherosclerotic lesion area of aortic root. n = 6 in each group; *p < 0.05; **p < 0.01; ***p < 0.001.
