Fig. 2.
Confocal images of HUVEC stained for vWF and P-selectin.
Original magnification, ×40. Staining for vWF without (A) and with (B) saponin 0.1% included with the first antibody staining buffer. Only with permeabilization was significant granular vWF staining seen. Confocal images of cells preincubated for 48 hours with medium (C) or IL-13 (50 ng/mL) after histamine (10−5 mol/L) stimulation for 10 minutes (D). A clear increase in P-selectin expression was observed.
