Abstract excerpt
AIMS: To investigate whether activation of atheroprotective peritoneal B1a cells by apoptotic cells or phosphatidylserine liposomes (PSLs) can enhance their protective actions during atherosclerosis development. METHODS AND RESULTS: Male apolipoprotein E-knockout (ApoE-/-) mice were treated with apoptotic cells or PSLs at the beginning of 8-week high-fat diet. Intraperitoneally administered apoptotic cells...
