Autoantibody against the amino acid sequence 661–680 in apo B-100 is associated with decreased carotid stenosis and cardiovascular events

Immunization with malondialdehyde (MDA)-modified peptides corresponding to the amino acid sequence between 661 and 680 in apo B-100 (p45) inhibits atherosclerosis in apo E knockout mice. The same effect can be obtained by treating the mice with recombinant anti-MDA-p45 IgG, suggesting that these ant...
