The atherosclerotic mouse aorta consists of a heterogeneous population of cells, including macrophages, endothelial cells, and smooth muscle cells that play critical roles in cardiovascular disease. Identification of these vascular cells in the vessel wall is important to understanding their function in pathological conditions. Immunohistochemistry is an invaluable technique used to detect the presence of cells in different tissues. Here, we describe immunohistochemical techniques commonly used for the detection of the vascular cells in the atherosclerotic mouse aorta using cell type-specific markers.
动脉粥样硬化小鼠主动脉由多种细胞组成,包括巨噬细胞、内皮细胞和平滑肌细胞,这些细胞在心血管疾病中起关键作用。识别血管壁中的这些血管细胞对于理解它们在病理状态下的功能很重要。免疫组织化学是一种用于检测不同组织中细胞存在的重要技术。在这里,我们描述了使用细胞类型特异性标志物检测动脉粥样硬化小鼠主动脉中血管细胞的常用免疫组织化学技术。
