The role of CARD9 in atherosclerosis
This study evaluated the role of Card9 in murine models of atherosclerosis, using gene knockout of Apoe, Ldlr and Rag2. The 16S rRNA analysis was compared in Apoe knockout mice with or without knockout of Card9 and in Ldlr knockout mice transplanted with Card9 bone marrow cells and treated with antibiotics to determine if this was involved in Card9's role in atherosclerosis.
