Macrophage and T cell infiltration in lesions of LDLR^−/−p110γ^−/− compared to LDLR^−/−p110γ^+/− mice.

<p>Aortic sinus sections were studied in LDLR^−/−p110γ^+/− (females, <i>n</i> = 6) and LDLR^−/−p110γ^−/− mice (females, <i>n</i> = 7) after two months on a high-fat diet. (<b>A</b>) Representative photomicrographs of Mac-3⁺ cells in aortic sinus sections after immunohistochemical staining. Bar = 200 μm. Arrows indicate Mac-3⁺ area. (<b>B</b>) Percentage of Mac-3⁺-stained area relative to total lesion area, quantified with ImageJ software. (<b>C</b>) Representative photomicrographs of CD3⁺ cells in aortic sinus sections after immunohistochemical staining. Bar = 200 μm. (<b>D</b>) Percentage of CD3⁺ cells relative to total lesion area, quantified with ImageJ. (<b>E</b>) Representative photomicrographs of immunofluorescent staining for vascular smooth muscle cells (αSMA⁺) in aortic sinus sections from LDLR^−/−p110γ^+/− and LDLR^−/−p110γ^−/− mice after two months on a high-fat diet (<i>n</i> = 6 females/genotype). Bar = 100 μm. (<b>F</b>) Percentage of αSMA⁺ area relative to total lesion area, quantified with ImageJ. Mean ± SD. Student’s <i>t</i>-test.
