Abstract
Platelets contribute to increased tissue oxLDL in the aortic wall but not in peripheral blood. CD68 seems to play a role in the oxLDL metabolism in the vessel wall at early stages of atherosclerosis. FcIgG2-FL-CD68 could serve as a novel therapeutic option to modify the oxLDL content in the vessel wall.
