| Research Abstract |
To investigate the molecular mechanism for the functions and safety of polyphenols and to identify their molecular targets, we developed novel monoclonal antibodies that specifically recognize quercetin or epicatechin gallate. Using these antibodies, we have identified macrophage cells in human aorta as the specific target of these polyphenols.
