CD8A and atherosclerosis: Memory B cells (p < 0.01), gamma delta T cells (p < 0.01), M0 macrophages (p < 0.01), and M2 macrophages (p < 0.01) had a higher fraction in advanced atherosclerosis samples, while naïve B cells (p < 0.05), CD8+ T cells (p < 0.01), regulatory T cells (Tregs, p < 0.001), and monocytes (p < 0.01) contained a lower fraction in advanced atherosclerosis samples.
