Introduction. IgM antibodies against phosphorylcholine (IgM anti-PC) are natural
autoantibodies, possibly exerting one of the atheroprotective functions of the immune …

Background. Atherosclerosis is an inflammatory disease where oxidized low-density
lipoprotein may play an important role through phosphorylcholine (PC)-exposing …

Natural IgM antibodies against phosphorylcholine (anti-Pc IgM) resemble C-reactive protein
(CRP) regarding specificity and have gained increasing attention because of their supposed …

Obesity associates with reduced life expectancy, type 2 diabetes, hypertension and
cardiovascular disease, and is characterized by chronic inflammation. Phosphorylcholine …

Background: Serum contains natural IgM antibodies against the phosphorylcholine
headgroup of phosphatidylcholine (anti-PC). Low levels are associated with an increased …

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

Abs specific for phosphorylcholine (PC) are known to contribute to the immune defense
against a variety of microbial infections. To assess for other types of binding interactions, we …

Atherogenesis is a complex inflammatory process stemming from the accumulation and
oxidation of low density lipoproteins (LDL). IgM autoantibodies against phosphorylcholine …

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

OBJECTIVE: To determine the importance of antibodies against phosphorylcholine (PC) and
oxidized low density lipoprotein (OxLDL) for development of atherosclerosis. METHODS …
