Identification of carbonylated lysine in the thrombi attached to the vascular wall of AAA and control. Surgically resected specimen of AAA vascular wall (a) and control vascular wall (b) were subjected to immunostaining by anti-human fibrinogen (green) and anti-N-acetyl FDP-Lysine (red), respectively. Similar positive staining patterns were observed (merged), though the staining by anti-N-acetyl FDP-Lysine was stronger in AAA vascular wall. Nuclei are counterstained with DAPI. In (c), image was obtained with direct application of the secondary antibodies and nuclei are counterstained with DAPI. Scale bar shows 200 µm.
