Abstract: Chronic inflammation driven by immune responses to lipid deposition in the arterial wall is now understood to be fundamental to the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis. The frequent presence of T lymphocytes in human atherosclerotic lesions was first described in the 1980s, but experiments to test whether adaptive immunity influences lesion development and phenotype required animal models. The American Journal of Pathology has published many research articles focused on the role of inflammation and adaptive immunity in diet-induced and genetically manipulated murine models of atherosclerosis. Seminal articles in the 1990s were the first to describe the presence of T cells in mouse atherosclerotic lesions; other articles demonstrated the effects of defective adaptive immunity on lesion development in mice.

Acaricide resistance in cattle ticks and approaches to its management: The state of play
TL;DR: The status of acaricide resistance in cattle ticks from different parts of the world is summarized and modes of action of currently used acaricides, mechanism of resistance development, contributory factors for the development and spread of resistance, management of resistant strains and strategies to prolong the effect of the available acar pesticides are reviewed.

A change in inflammatory footprint precedes plaque instability: a systematic evaluation of cellular aspects of the adaptive immune response in human atherosclerosis.
R. A. van Dijk,A. J. F. Duinisveld,Alexander F. Schaapherder,A. Mulder‐Stapel,Jaap F. Hamming,Johan Kuiper,O. J. de Boer,A.C. van der Wal,Frank D. Kolodgie,Renu Virmani,Jan H.N. Lindeman +10 more
TL;DR: Transient CXCL13 expression, restricted presence of B cells in human atherosclerosis, along with formation of nonfunctional extranodal lymphoid structures in the phase preceding plaque rupture, indicates a “critical” change in the inflammatory footprint before and during plaque destabilization.

Gut dysbiosis and adaptive immune response in diet-induced obesity vs. Systemic inflammation
Jana Pindjakova,Claudio Sartini,Oriana Lo Re,Francesca Rappa,Berengere Coupe,Benjamin Lelouvier,Valerio Pazienza,Manlio Vinciguerra +7 more
TL;DR: Diet composition has a pervasive role in co-regulating adaptive immunity and the diversity of microbiota and correlated with specific adaptive immune responses in mice reproducing human metabolic exceptions.
Anti-cytokine therapy for prevention of atherosclerosis
TL;DR: Anti-cytokine therapy may be a promising direction in moderation of atherogenesis, especially when it begins on the early stages of subclinical atherosclerosis, as they have no significant side effects and can be prescribed for long-term administration.

Spontaneous Hypercholesterolemia and Arterial Lesions in Mice Lacking Apolipoprotein E
TL;DR: Apolipoprotein E-deficient mice generated by gene targeting were used to test this hypothesis and to make a mouse model for spontaneous atherosclerosis, with severe yet viable phenotype that should make them valuable for investigating genetic and environmental factors that modify the atherogenic process.

TL;DR: It is concluded that the LDL receptor is responsible in part for the low levels of VLDL, IDL, and LDL in wild-type mice and that adenovirus-encoded LDL receptors can acutely reverse the hypercholesterolemic effects of LDL receptor deficiency.
