From: Neutrophil mediated smooth muscle cell loss precedes allograft vasculopathy
Neutrophil infiltration is evident in the media of allografts immediately post transplant and inversely correlates with SMC loss. (a) C3H allograft transplanted into a B6 recipient harvested at 1d post-transplant showing NФ (indicated by arrows) within the media (demarcated by arrowheads); (b) mean medial SMC (red squares) and NФ (black circle) per aortic cross-section were enumerated between 1d and 2wk post-transplant. n = 4-6 per time point.
