Adhesion molecules expression analysis.

Abstract

<p>(A) Relative mRNA levels of VCAM-1, ICAM-1, e-selectin and p-selectin in aortic arches from p55^+/+LDLR^−/− (n = 10) and p55^−/−LDLR^−/− (n = 8) mice. Values are represented relative to expression in p55^+/+LDLR^−/− arches. (B) Immunohistochemical staining of VCAM-1 expression on sections from aortic valve areas indicating a less intense endothelial staining in p55^−/−LDLR^−/− mice. Original magnification×200. (C) Staining quantification. * p = 0.01 by Student's t-test. Error bars indicate SEM.</p
