CXCR4-staining and relation to groups and criteria of plaque vulnerability. Exemplary CXCR4-staining of carotid plaque specimens of a sCS patient (scale bar: 400 µm) (A) and an aCS patient (scale bar: 400 µm) (B) indicating presence of CXCR4-positive inflammatory cell infiltrations in (A). Differential presence of CXCR4-positive inflammatory cells regarding groups (C) and histological sum score (D).
