Pentraxin 3 Released from Neutrophils Increases Plasma Levels in Patients with Acute Coronary Syndrome
Figure 3
Expression patterns of inflammatory cells and PTX3 in the thrombus obtained from a 67-year-old man with AMI. Inflammatory cells infiltrated around the red thrombus ((a) hematoxylin and eosin, ×200). The expression patterns of CD15-positive cells were similar for neutrophils ((b) ×200 and (e) ×400) and PTX3-positive cells ((c) ×200 and (f) ×400), but negative staining for CD204 suggested macrophages ((d) ×200). Bar indicates 200 μm. Bar indicates 50 μm.
