From: Autoreactive Antibody Repertoire Is Perturbed in Atherosclerotic Patients
Autoreactivity to target organs. Densitometric profiles of antibody reactivities in the two groups were submitted to computer-assisted analysis. Data represent mean and SD of the peak reactivity within the sections in the two groups (closed circles = patients; open circles = controls), after subtraction of the reactivity of the secondary antibody alone. Autoreactivities to target organs (plaque, control artery) were significantly enhanced in patients as compared with controls. OD = optical density; au = arbitrary unit.
