Interleukin-6 and interleukin-8 protein and gene expression in human arterial atherosclerotic wall
HG Rus, R Vlaicu, F Niculescu - Atherosclerosis, 1996 - Elsevier
Interleukin 6 (IL-6) and interleukin 8 (IL-8) are present in the human arterial atherosclerotic
wall as cellular and extracellular deposits in the connective tissue matrix. Quantitative
determinations of IL-6 by ELISA showed mean values of 27.6±3.3 ng/100 mg protein in
normal intima, 37.3±2.1 ng/100 mg protein in fibrous plaque and 25.7±4.3 ng/100 mg total
extracted protein in media. IL-8 levels were 3.5±0.6 ng/100 mg protein in normal intima,
11.3±2.1 ng/100 mg protein in fibrous plaque and 8.5±1.4 ng/100 mg total extracted protein …
