Involvement of KC in interleukin (IL) 1β induced cell adhesion and emigration. (A) Animals were treated with 2 mg goat IgG or goat antirat rat KC polyclonal antibody one hour prior to IL-1β administration (20 ng intraperitoneally). Mesenteries were exposed two hours later, and the degree of cell adhesion (per 100 µm vessel wall) and emigration quantified by videomicroscopy. Data are mean (SEM); n=8 rats. *p<0.05 v mouse IgG group. (B) Detection of rat KC protein in the peritoneal cell free lavage fluids of control rats (n=4), rats injected with IL-1β (20 ng intraperitoneally; n=5), and animals pretreated with dexamethasone (DEX) one hour prior to IL-1β administration (n=5). Lavage fluids were collected two hours post-IL-1β. Data are mean (SEM). *p<0.05 v IL-1β group.
