Comparison of Oral Tolerance to ApoB and HSP60 Peptides in Preventing Atherosclerosis Lesion Formation in Apob48−/Ldlr− Mice
Figure 6
Effect of oral tolerance on smooth muscle cells and collagen in the lesion. (a) Upper panels: representative photomicrographs showing immunofluorescence staining of aortic sinus sections with α-Actin (red) in control, ApoB-, Hsp60-treated mice. Scale bar represents 50 μm (), lower panel: percentage of α-Actin-positive areas from control and treated groups. (b) Upper panels: representative photomicrographs showing staining of aortic sinus sections with masons trichrome for collagen (blue) in control, ApoB-, Hsp60-treated mice. Scale bar represents 50 μm (), lower panel: percentage of collagen positive areas from control and treated groups. , , .
