Number of lymphocytes adherent to confluent area of KG1a were counted by light microscopy using an ocular grid under 100× magnification (quantified a minimum of 3 fields per slide, 3 slides per experiment, 3 separate experiments). Results are presented as percentage binding compared with corresponding buffer-treated control KG1a cytospin preparations.

Statistically significant (paired t test;P < .01) difference compared with enzyme buffer alone group.
