Figure 2
Adhesion of GD and CTR RBCs to HMEC-1 endothelial cells under flow conditions. (A) Typical microscopic images showing that more GD RBCs adhere to HMEC-1 monolayer than healthy volunteer RBCs at 1 dyn/cm2 flow rate. (B) Number of RBCs remaining adherent to HMEC-1 after inflow at 0,2 dyn/cm2 and washout at increasing shear stresses. Blood samples were from 12 healthy CTRs and 15 GD patients. Bars denote SEM (*P < .05; **P < .01; Mann-Whitney test).
