The goal of this study was to determine the influence of apolipoprotein A-I (apoA-I) tertiary structure domain properties on the antiatherogenic properties of the protein. Two chimeric hybrids with the N-terminal domains swapped (human-mouse apoA-I and mouse-human apoA-I) were expressed in apoA-I-null mice with adeno-associated virus (AAV) and used to study macrophage reverse cholesterol transport (RCT) in vivo.
