3. Fig 2
Relative messenger RNA expression calibrated to normal vein. Results are expressed as relative interleukin-1β or interleukin-10 mRNA expression after normalization to 18S ribosomal RNA, to minimize variability from RNA quality and RT efficiency, and finally calibrated to unmanipulated jugular vein. With arterialization, vein wall interleukin-1β exhibits rapid induction that is higher in the low shear stress setting. On the other hand, interleukin-10 exhibits relatively delayed upregulation, most notably by high wall shear stress at 14 days.

Interleukin-1β localized to developing neointima 3 days after vein graft placement. Unmanipulated control vein demonstrates negative staining.
