Histamine-stimulated HUVECs were incubated in Ca2+/Zn2+-containing buffer for 0 to 2, 5, and 10 to 15 minutes, fixed, and stained with rabbit anti–VWF plus goat anti–rabbit IgG-488. VWF string lengths (± SD) were measured from microscope views (201 μm × 150 μm) at ×200 at each incubation time during 10 experiments.
