Atherosclerosis is an inflammatory condition characterised by an abundance of activated
immunocompetent cells in plaques which cause cardiovascular disease (CVD) when they …

Atherosclerosis is a chronic inflammatory disease characterized by the presence of activated
immune‐competent cells in the lesions, producing mainly proinflammatory cytokines …

Introduction Chronic inflammatory diseases include cardiovascular disease (CVD),
atherosclerosis, rheumatic and autoimmune diseases, and others, constituting a large part of …

OBJECTIVE: We here determine the role of IgM antibodies against phosphorylcholine (anti-
PC) in prediction of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and on macrophage uptake of Oxidized …

BACKGROUND: Natural antibodies specific for phosphorylcholine (anti-PC) have been
implicated as protective factors in atherosclerosis. We herein determined the relationship …

Background and Purpose—Natural immunoglobulin M antibodies specific for
phosphorylcholine (anti-PC) have been implicated in atherosclerosis. We have shown …

Objective. We have recently reported that natural antibodies against phosphorylcholine (anti-
PC) have atheroprotective properties. Here we compare anti-PC with other autoantibodies in …

Objectives: The present study evaluated the effect of phosphorylcholine (PC) immunization
on the extent of experimental atherosclerosis. Background: Immunization against oxidized …

Objective Phosphorylcholine (PC) is one important epitope on oxidized low-density
lipoprotein that may play an important role by contributing to the atherogenicity of oxidized …

Background We have reported that anti-phosphorylcholine (anti-PC) IgM is a protection
marker for human cardiovascular disease (CVD) and atherosclerosis. We here investigate …
