Agonistic anti-TIGIT treatment does not reduce more advanced atherosclerosis.

Abstract

<p>Agonistic anti-TIGIT treatment (n = 12) and Armenian Hamster IgG treatment (n = 11) reduces atherosclerosis development in LDLr<sup>−/−</sup> mice fed a Western-type diet for 8 weeks in comparison with PBS treatment (n = 12). Representative cross-sections of lesion formation in the three valves area of the aortic root stained with Oil-Red-O and hematoxylin are shown and lesion size was determined (A). Sections of the aortic root were stained for collagen using Masson’s trichrome staining. The percentage of collagen relative to the lesion size was determined (B). Furthermore, relative macrophage content was determined with a Moma-2 staining and quantified (C).</p
