CD8A and atherosclerosis: In each experiment CD8+ T-lymphocytes were sorted (Figure 1A) and seeded on 6 types of coatings (Figure 1B): 1 – non-coated plastic; 2 – plastic coated with conditioned medium from atherosclerotic plaque; 3 – plastic coated with plasma from patients with atherosclerosis; 4 – fibronectin-coated plastic (FN); 5 – fibronectin-coated plastic with conditioned medium from atherosclerotic plaque (FN+medium); 6 – fibronectin-coated plastic with plasma from patients with atherosclerosis (FN+plasma).
