Abstract
Poly-IgM treatment reduced aortic and accelerated carotid atherosclerosis in apoEâ/â mice in association with increased anti-oxLDL IgG titers, and reduced number and proliferative function of splenic CD4+ T cells. Our study identifies a novel athero-protective and immunomodulatory role for non-immune polyclonal IgM.
