Characterisation of T and B lymphocytes infiltrating abdominal aortic aneurysms
E Ocana, JC Bohórquez, J Pérez-Requena, JA Brieva… - Atherosclerosis, 2003 - Elsevier
Cellular infiltrates consisting mainly of lymphocytes are commonly present in the arterial wall
in abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA). However, despite this, the precise nature of these
populations has to date not been described in detail. The aim of this study was to perform an
exhaustive phenotypic characterisation of the infiltrating lymphocytes in order to define the
inflammatory process that develops in AAA. For this purpose, AAA-infiltrating lymphocytes
from 25 fresh aneurysm wall samples and, as a control, peripheral blood (PB) lymphocytes …
