  1. For each case we calculated the number of CD3+, S100+, CD40+, CD40L+ and NF-κB+ infiltrating cells as percentage of total cells and expressed the result as the mean ± SD.
  2. *P < 0.05 vs AIT (Bonferroni Test); tP < 0.005 vs AIT (Bonferroni test).

  4. AIT: adaptive intimal thickening,
  5. PIT: pathological intimal thickening,
  6. FA: fibroatheroma.
