Abstract Background Low concentrations of IgM-phosphorylcholine autoantibodies (IgM-anti-
PC) have been shown to be associated with increased risk of incident cardiovascular …

BACKGROUND: Antibodies against proinflammatory phosphorylcholine (anti-PC) seem to
be protective and reduce morbidity. We sought to determine whether low levels 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 …

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 …

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

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

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

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 …

Abstract Objective Low levels of IgM anti-phosphorylcholine (anti-PC) increase the risk of
cardiovascular events (CVE). Here we investigate the association of low anti-PC with the …

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