Figure 3 Expression of the Adhesion Molecule Subunit CD11b on Human Monocytes

Stimulation of whole blood samples with increasing concentrations of transforming growth factor (TGF)-ß1 or TGF-ß1 from stent eluate resulted in a significant up-regulation of the integrin subunit CD11b of the monocyte adhesion molecule Mac-1. *Significant difference versus unstimulated monocytes.
