Ox-ApoB peptide fragment immune intervention reduces inflammation and macrophage migration in plaques. (a, b) Representative images of aortic root sections obtained from the control and immunization groups stained with MCP-1 (a). Nuclei were stained with DAPI (blue). The percentage of the plaque area that was occupied by MCP-1 is presented among the indicated groups (b). (c, d) Representative images of aortic root sections obtained from the control and immunization groups stained with VCAM-1 (c). Nuclei were stained with DAPI (blue). The percentage of the plaque area that was occupied by VCAM-1 is presented among the indicated groups (d). (e, f) Representative images of aortic root sections obtained from the control and immunization groups stained with F4/80 (e). The percentage of the plaque area that was occupied by F4/80 is presented among the indicated groups (f). Data are expressed as the . .
