BLOOD DONATION FOR ATHEROSCLEROSIS STUDIES

该子项目是利用NIH/NCRR资助的中心赠款提供的资源的许多研究子项目之一。子项目和研究者（PI）可能从另一个NIH来源获得主要资金，因此可以在其他CRISP条目中表示。所列机构为中心机构，不一定为研究者机构。脂蛋白与动脉壁环境中的细胞相互作用，在那里它们可以影响动脉粥样硬化形成中涉及的许多生物学过程。本研究将利用从正常受试者中分离的脂蛋白来评价它们与体外动脉壁细胞的相互作用。将用于这些研究的一种细胞类型是人巨噬细胞，其来源于正常人供体的循环单核细胞

This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator. Lipoproteins interact with cells in the milieu of the arterial wall where they can influence a number of biological processes involved in atherogenesis. This study will utilize lipoproteins isolated from normal subjects to evaluate their interaction with arterial wall cells in vitro. One cell type that will be used for these studies is the human macrophage, which is derived from circulating monocytes from normal human donors
