Confocal microscopy of CD45.2 expression in aortic tissue sections of Apoe−/− mice.

(A–C CD45.2 Ang II- treated group) 45.2 over-expression of CD45.2 protein seen in the atheromatous plaques in the tunica media of Ang II- treated Apoe−/− mice; (D–F CD45.2 α-tocopherol-treated) Mild levels of expression are seen in α-tocopherol-treated group; (G–I CD45.2 β-carotene-treated) CD45.2 is not expressed in the β-carotene-treated group; (J–L CD45.2 α-tocopherol+β-carotene-treated) Combined treatment shows mild expressions of CD45.2 (M–O Control).
