Figure 4: Analysis of microvesicles in plasma from healthy controls and atherosclerotic patients. Representative panel of the analysis of microparticles in a healthy control (A), a patient with low (B) and high (C) frequency of AnxV-positive microparticles. EMPs were positive for AnxV and CD31 but negative for CD42 (Q4). PMPs were positive for AnxV, CD31 and CD42 (Q2). The columns on the left show isotype controls for each sample. (D) Counts/μl plasma of EMPs and PMPs in controls and patients. The graph shows the mean ± SEM (p<0.05; Student’s t test). (E) Counts/μl plasma of AnxV-negative microparticles in controls and patients. The graph shows the mean ± SEM.
