Expression Induced by Activated-HUVEC of the β2 Integrin Activation Reporter Epitope Recognized by the MoAb 24: Effect of T-Cell Preincubation With 300 μg/mL ASA for 30 Minutes

24 Epitope Expression (MFI)
Medium ASA Preincubation
Unstimulated T cells 14 ± 4   16 ± 7   
HUVEC-nonadherent T cells 18 ± 6   17 ± 6   
HUVEC-adherent T cells 86 ± 18  34 ± 7* 
HUVEC-migrated T cells  168 ± 31   80 ± 22* 
24 Epitope Expression (MFI)
Medium ASA Preincubation
Unstimulated T cells 14 ± 4   16 ± 7   
HUVEC-nonadherent T cells 18 ± 6   17 ± 6   
HUVEC-adherent T cells 86 ± 18  34 ± 7* 
HUVEC-migrated T cells  168 ± 31   80 ± 22* 

Data are expressed as the mean ± SEM of six separate experiments. Numbers significantly different from the values of the resting T-cell population are in bold (P < .001). A positive control for the induction of 24 epitope was performed by incubating unstimulated T cells with 500 μmol/L Mn2+, as previously described.46 In this experimental condition, the MFI increased from 14 ± 4 to 79 ± 18 (P < .001).
