Abstract
The cellular composition of the ELS differs from the cellular infiltrate in CAV intimal lesions. The presence of memory B lymphocytes and plasma producing IgM and IgG cells suggests that ELS are related to local antibody production, potentially contributing to antibody-mediated CAV. ELS associated with coronary vessels containing CAV show features of underdeveloped TLOs; classic TLOs may not develop due to patient immunosuppression.
