A novel mouse model of coronary stenosis mimicking Kawasaki disease induced by Lactobacillus casei cell wall extract.

In conclusion, we show a novel mouse model of coronary stenosis induced by LCWE that is characterized by coronary stenosis with severe coronary vasculitis and elastin degradation. In addition, VSMC proliferation plays an important role in the formation of coronary stenosis. This model is an appropriate model of KD coronary stenosis.
