Re-endothelization of the Iliac Arterial Lumen. (A) Control and denuded rabbit iliac artery stained with Evans blue dye after two weeks of empty vector and endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS)-expressing plasmid DNA-loaded stent implantation. (B) Quantitative analysis of percent re-endothelization based on the analysis of Evans blue staining of treated tissue relative to non-denuded control tissue normalized to surface area. (C) Histogram of quanitative analysis from CD-31 immuno-histochemistry. (D) CD-31 tissue immune-histochemistry at 20× magnification of the iliac artery cross-sections.
