Figure 2 Representative photographs of ferric chloride (FeCl3)-applied carotid arterial tissues stained with hematoxylin-eosin (A to D) and van Gieson’s elastin staining (F and G). In intact mice, endothelial cells were preserved in wild-type (P+/+) and P-selectin-deficient (P–/–) mice. However, in FeCl3-applied mice, almost no endothelial cells were observed in P+/+ and P–/– mice. Note that the number of endothelial cells in P+/+ and P–/– mice was significantly decreased by FeCl3 application and they were comparable (E). Furthermore, no disruptions of elastic fiber after FeCl3 application were observed in P+/+ and P–/– mice (F and G).
