PDGF‐C and ‐D and their receptors PDGFR‐α and PDGFR‐β in atherosclerotic human arteries

Abstract

Our results suggest that PDGF-C may play an important role in endothelium in normal and atherosclerotic arteries and in macrophages in lesions. PDGF-D was expressed in all types of lesions with the same intensity and thus differs from the expression of PDGF-C.
