Although very low density lipoprotein (VLDL) receptor expression by macrophages has
been shown in the vascular wall, it is not clear whether or not circulating monocytes express
the VLDL receptor. We investigated the expression of VLDL receptor mRNA in human
peripheral blood monocytes and monocyte-derived macrophages by reverse transcriptase
polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and nucleotide sequencing after subcloning of PCR
product. VLDL receptor mRNA was detected both in peripheral blood monocytes and …
