Figure 3 Cellular Origin of Plaque MPs

Microparticle (MP) distribution and cellular origins in human plaque (A), venous plasma (B), and arterial plasma (C) (n = 26). Data are given as median (horizontal bar), 25th and 75th percentile (boxes), and 90th percentile (error bar). Endoth. = endothelial cell origin; Granul. = granulocyte origin; Lymph. = lymphocyte origin; Mac. = macrophage origin; Platel. = platelet origin; RBC = red blood cell origin; SMC = smooth muscle cell origin.
