This article presents abstracts of papers presented at the 3rd European meeting on vascular biology and medicine. The aim of the study titled "Antibody Conjugated Near Infrared Dye Detects Focal Atherosclerotic Lesions in ApoE Deficient Mice," by M. Roser and colleagues, was to examine the expression of ED-B fibronectin in a murine model of moderate atherosclerosis to investigate its relevance for imaging of early atherosclerotic lesions. In order to better characterize the role of the B7/CD28 pathway in atherosclerosis, the study titled "Protective Role of B7 and CD28 Co-Stimulatory Molecules in the Development of Atherosclerosis," by S. Potteaux and colleagues, generated chimeric mice. |
