Abstract excerpt
Neointima formation after vascular injury is exaggerated in ovariectomized (OVX) human C-reactive protein transgenic mice (CRPtg) compared to nontransgenic mice (NTG). We tested the hypothesis that this CRP-mediated exacerbation requires IgG Fc receptors (Fc gamma Rs). OVX NTG, CRPtg, and CRPtg lacking Fc gamma RI, Fc gamma RIIb, Fc gamma RIII, or the common gamma chain (FcR gamma) had their common carotid artery...
