The adhesion of peripheral blood monocytes on VN- or FBG-coated wells in the absence or presence of Zn2+ and Mn2+ was compared. uPA was used as a positive control for adhesion on VN and PMA for adhesion on FBG. Data are represented as percent of control and represent the mean ± SEM (n = 3) of a typical experiment. Similar results were obtained in 3 separate experiments.
