Atherosclerosis and its main consequence, cardiovascular disease (CVD) are nowadays
regarded as chronic inflammatory disease conditions, and CVD is the main cause of death …

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

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

Natural antibodies against phosphorylcholine as potential protective factors in atherosclerosis,
cardiovascular disease and sy Page 1 Institutionen för Medicin, Enheten för Akutmedicin …

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

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

Objective Immunoglobulin M antibodies against phosphorylcholine (anti‐PC s) may be
protective in atherosclerosis, cardiovascular disease (CVD), and systemic lupus …

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

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