Adhesion of S. aureus Cowan 1 to vWF-PMMA in the presence of IgG.

Experimental conditions as in Figure 5. After adsorption of vWF (50 μg/mL), adhesion assays were performed in the presence of increasing concentrations of human pooled IgG (Venimmun) (solid line). Control assays were performed with PMMA pretreated with PBS alone (dashed line). Shown are mean values ± SD of a quintuplicate determination.
