Foam cell formation containing lipid droplets enriched with free cholesterol by hyperlipidemic serum

A monoclonal antibody, ASH1a/256C (256C), which binds to atherosclerotic lesions in Watanabe heritable hyperlipidemic rabbit (WHHL) aorta in vivo, recognizes complex structures of phosphatidylcholine mixed with neutral lipids. In the present study, a cell culture system is described in which foam ce...
