Plaque composition in terms of CD45 signal. (A) Immune cell marker CD45 signal in ApoE−/− mice in different vessel compartments. CD45 volume is increased in the aortic arch of ApoE−/− mice on western diet (FDR corrected p value = 0.014), but not in the BCA branch (FDR corrected p value = 0.95). (B) Composition of individual plaque objects in terms of CD45 signal and total volume. (C) Optical cross section images reveal that CD45 is only found in the periphery of larger plaques. Left image: aortic arch, right image: BCA. Both images are from Apoe−/− mice fed western diet.
