TUNEL staining in ligated carotid arteries. (A) Double-immunofluorescent staining to detect TUNEL-positive, apoptotic ECs in ligated arteries (green). Staining for PECAM-1 (red) was used to detect and assess the integrity of the endothelial layer. Scale bar: 50 μm. Arrowheads indicate apoptotic ECs. (B) The number of positive-staining cells in 4 separate sections per animal is quantified. Results are expressed as mean ± SEM. n = 4 in each group. *P < 0.05 versus WT.
