Figure 5

The percentage of blood monocytes (A) and peritoneal macrophages (B) that stained positive for the presence of ABCA1 protein, and (C) relative surface protein expression levels of ABCA1 on peritoneal macrophages in LDL receptor knockout mice transplanted with bone marrow from USF1 knockout (USF1 KO) mice or their wild-type (WT) littermate controls. (D) The extent of cholesterol efflux from WT and USF1 KO bone marrow-derived macrophages to the exogenous acceptor apolipoprotein A1. Data in panels (AC) represent the means ± SEM of 6 randomly chosen WT and USF1 KO bone marrow recipients, whilst the in vitro data in panel (D) represent the means ± SEM of 4 cell culture wells. **P < 0.01 versus WT.
