Figure 1 Cardiac expression of endothelial adhesion molecules. a) Blood vessels in normal myocardium are CD31 positive. b) A VCAM-1 positive blood vessel in normal atrium. c) ICAM-2 positive vessels in infarction heart. d) Negative staining of infarcted heart with anti-E-selectin mAb (similar absence of reactivity was also seen with all negative control mAbs, data not shown). In the inset, E-selectin positive vessels in the tonsil are shown. Representative vessels are indicated by arrows. Bar shown in (a) is 100 µm. The bar shown in (b) is 50 µm in all other figures. ICAM = intercellular adhesion molecule; mAb = monoclonal antibody; VCAM = vascular cell adhesion molecule-1.
