Thrombin Increases CD54 Expression on HUVECs

Conditions 6 h (% of positive cells) 24 h (% of positive cells)
Control  23 ± 5  15 ± 1  
Thrombin 48 ± 4-150 60 ± 5-150 
IL-1β  86 ± 4-150 90 ± 2-150 
Conditions 6 h (% of positive cells) 24 h (% of positive cells)
Control  23 ± 5  15 ± 1  
Thrombin 48 ± 4-150 60 ± 5-150 
IL-1β  86 ± 4-150 90 ± 2-150 

HUVECs were cultured in the control medium, in the presence of thrombin (8 U/mL), or in the presence of IL-1β (50 pg/mL) for 6 or 24 hours. After cell trypsinization, CD54 expression on HUVECs was studied by FACS analysis.
