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

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

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

Low anti-phosphorylcholine (PC) IgM plasma levels have been associated with increased
incidence of adverse events in coronary artery disease (CAD). The underlying mechanisms …

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

Lysophosphatidylcholine (LPC) is formed by hydrolysis of PC in low density lipoprotein
(LDL) and cell membranes by phospholipase A2 or by oxidation. Oxidized (ox) LDL …

Background Phosphorylcholine (PC) is an important pro‐inflammatory damage‐associated
molecular pattern. Previous data have shown that natural IgM anti‐PC protects against …

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

Background: We here study antibodies against phosphorylcholine (anti-PC) which we
reported to be inversely associated with atherosclerosis, cardiovascular disease (CVD), and …

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 …
