N2 - Indirect data coming from animal studies and in vitro observations support the contention that the mere presence of antiphospholipid antibodies may be sufficient to increase antheroma development, regardless of other predisposing factors. It seems that humoral and cellular immune responses to β2-glycoprotein I can play ab important role in mediating the increased prospensity to atherosclerosis.
