Figure 3. Antibodies against CD99 and CD99L2 inhibit neutrophil extravasation in the cytokine-inflamed cremaster of WT and PECAM-1–deficient mice. Leukocyte rolling, adhesion, and extravasation in (A) 4-hour IL-1β or (B) 2-hour TNF-α inflamed cremaster were analyzed by intravital microscopy in WT (A-B) and PECAM-1–deficient mice (only panel A) intravenously injected with 50 μg antibody of preimmune co-IgG, affinity-purified anti-CD99 IgG (anti-CD99), or affinity-purified anti-CD99L2 IgG (anti-CD99L2; as indicated) or a combination of both antibodies (only panel B). Four or 2 hours later, respectively, the cremaster muscle was surgically prepared, and the number of rolling leukocytes (per second per millimeter), adherent leukocytes (per 104 μm2 of venule surface area), and extravasated leukocytes from cremasteric venules (per 104 μm2 tissue area) were determined by intravital near-infrared reflected light oblique transillumination microscopy. ***P < .001. **P < .01. *P < .05. Statistical analysis was done by ANOVA evaluating all available data (n = 3-6). Hemodynamic parameters are given in Tables 1 and 2.
