Shear-dependent cell tethering and rolling. The velocity of cells that tethered and rolled on the vWF surface was determined at a wall shear stress of 2 dyn/cm2. Over a 5-minute flow period, LβIXV cells tethered to the vWF surface and rolled maintaining continuous surface contact. In contrast, LβIX cells did not tether and roll on the vWF surface. Values are the mean ± SEM, n = 3 to 4.
