Experimental procedures
H&E staining **Dewaxing:** Paraffin sections are placed in xylene for 3 x 00:03:00 H&E staining **Rehydration: ** Paraffin sections are placed in - 100% EtOH for 3 x 00:03:00 - 95% EtOH for 1 x 00:03:00 - Rinse with water H&E staining **Hematoxylin staining: ** Paraffin sections are stained with hematoxylin for 00:00:20 and rinse under running water for 00:01:00 H&E staining **Differentiation and bluing:** Paraffin sections are placed into the bluing reagent for 00:01:00 and rinse under running water for 00:01:00 _This step results in a blue coloration of the nuclei._ H&E staining **Eosin staining:** Parrafin sections are counterstained with Eosin for 00:00:10 _This step results in a pink coloration of the cytoplasmic components and connective tissue fibers._ H&E staining **Dehydration and Clearing:** Paraffin sections are placed in - 95% EtOH for 00:02:00 - 100% EtOH for 2 x 00:02:00 - Xylene for 2 x 00:02:00 H&E staining **Mounting:** Parrafin sections are mounted with a glass coverslip using Permount.

Biological characteristics
- Phenotype stage
- 高胆固醇饲料下病变明显;普通饲料下进展取决于遗传背景和年龄。
- Research questions
- LDL 受体缺失兔的脂蛋白代谢和主动脉病变;基因编辑兔用于动脉粥样硬化研究的适用性。
- Limitations
- 基因编辑兔的品系和突变细节需按具体来源核对;兔模型成本高、繁殖周期长;病变仍不能完全复制人类斑块破裂和血栓事件。
