CX3CR1 DNA vaccination reduced lipid deposition in plaques in brachiocephalic arteries of atherosclerotic ApoE-/- mice.

<p>(A) Representative images of atherosclerotic lesions from brachiocephalic arteries stained with Oil Red O. (B) Quantitative analysis showing that lipid deposition is significantly reduced in DEC-CX3CR1 vaccinated mice as compared to adjuvant only and non-vaccinated control mice (**p< 0.01;*p<0.05 respectively). Each row represents a single experimental mouse within a group.
