Electron microscopy and immunohistochemical analysis clarified the phenotype of
macrophages that are not transformed into foam cells. It is suggested that cells having such …

Foam cells in 4 human atherosclerotic plaques reacted with 3 rat monoclonal antibodies
directed against T. 200 ('anti-leucocyte common'antibody), HLA-Class II molecules and …

Lipid-laden foam cells are characteristic features of small human and experimental arterial
lesions (fatty streaks) and are also found in most advanced lesions, especially at the …

Atherosclerosis is undoubtedly a disease of many facets and in this review we have merely
touched one angle of this issue. The best‐established cause of the disease is hyper …

New morphologic investigations on the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis have refocused
attention on the role of monocytes and macrophages, especially in the early phases of the …

A striking characteristic of atherosclerosis is the accumulation of a large amount of lipids,
mainly cholesterol ester, in the arterial wall. Recently, the involvement of macrophages in …

It is generally accepted that the foam cells in atherosclerotic lesions are derived mainly from
monocytes/macrophages. We investigated whether the macrophage-derived foam cells …

Sections of human atherosclerotic plaques, obtained from 21 autopsy cases with various
degrees of atherosclerosis, were stained with the indirect immunoperoxidase technique …

Erythrocytes (E) sensitized with IgG antibodies bound to the fatty streaks in cryostat sections
of early human atherosclerotic lesions. E sensitized with IgA or IgM antibodies or F (ab) 2 …

The development of arteriosclerosis results from diverse pathogenetic sources, and it is
conceivable, therefore, that the course of morphogenesis as well as the ultimate picture of …
