In this study, we used immunoelectron microscopy to investigate the subcellular localization
of scavenger receptor class B type I (SR-BI) in the arterial walls of rats. The expression of SR-
BI in cultured endothelial and smooth muscle cells of rat aorta after exposure to high-density
lipoprotein (HDL) was also investigated by immunofluorescence microscopy and
immunoblotting analysis. A peptide containing residues 495–509 from mouse SR-BI (mSR-
BI) plus an NH2-terminal cysteine was coupled to hemocyanin to generate mSR-BI …
