Supplementary Figure II. Collar-<strong>in</strong>duced atherosclerosis <strong>in</strong> transplanted common carotid artery<br />
(CCA) segments is pathoanatomically rem<strong>in</strong>iscent of spontaneously developed atherosclerosis <strong>in</strong><br />
apoE -/- mice. In this figure the occurrence of foam cells is shown <strong>in</strong> an eGFP + apoE -/- CCA graft<br />
anastomosed <strong>in</strong>to an apoE -/- recipient mouse. As expected, foam cells <strong>in</strong> the plaque are derived from<br />
the circulation (eGFP - ) and positive for the macrophage marker Mac2. Red, Mac2. Green, eGFP. L,<br />
lumen, C. fibrous cap. F, foam cells. Scale bar 50 μm.<br />
