Typical atherosclerotic plaques in the aortic sinus of an apoE -/-- hCRP+ mouse at 20 weeks (A) Oil red O stain. (B) Hematoxylineosin stain (C) Immunostain with anti-human CRP antibody. (D) Immunostain with anti-mouse C3 antibody. (E) Immunostain with anti-human CRP antibody preabsorbed with immobilized pure human CRP, showing complete absence of staining observed in C.(F) Anti-mouse C3 antibody preabsorbed with immobilized mouse C3, showing complete absence of staining observed in D Gideon M.
