Immunofluorescent analysis was used to study the topography of plasma proteins and beta-lipoproteins in the wall of human coronary arteries in cases of atherosclerosis. The dynamics of protein fractions deposits is not uniform in the process of the formation of the disease. Along with the progress of atherosclerosis, the infiltration of proteins, lipoproteins and lipids is increasing. A regular combination of beta-lipoproteins and gamma-globulin localizations was established. The role of the examined components in the wall of the coronary arteries and their participation in the formation of atherosclerotic plaques is discussed.
