ADAMTS7 expression reported by the LacZ gene trap tm1b allele in
heterozygotes during atherogenesis at 6, 8, 12 and 16 weeks post infection with
AAV8-PCSK9. A, Stages examined in the atherogenic model post infection with
AAV8-PCSK9. B, Quantitative analysis of β-gal positive cells in the
plaque (n=3 to 5 per group, data points represent individual animals). A
Kruskal-Wallis test with Dunn’s multiple comparison test was applied,
*P<0.05. C-F, Representative photomicrographs of β-gal staining in
the aortic sinus at the indicated weeks after AAV8-PCSK9 injection.
