It is also unlikely that B4T is pro-atherogenic because: (i) p210 (which is recognized by anti-pB1 antibodies) has recently been used for immunization against atherosclerosis [38], and (ii) in our in vitro experiments with macrophages, the antibody-induced increase of lipid uptake did not cause foam cell formation (unlike oxLDL). This evidence concerns the gene EVPL and atherosclerosis.
