Acute monocyte adhesion. CD45 immunostain of artery stented with Palmaz P-108 stent (JJIS, Warren, New Jersey, USA) at 48 hours. The central top panel shows an angiogram of the original bifurcation in vivo. The red line on the angiogram denotes the longitudinal level at which the section was taken. The central bottom panel shows the entire cross section. The blue dot represents the lateral wall. The yellow boxes denote the two regions of interest at the lateral (right) and the flow divider (left) walls. The panels on the right and left show successive magnifications of the regions of interest. Note the carpeting of adherent monocytes on the lateral wall in comparison to the complete absence of monocytes on the flow divider wall at this early time point.
