Angiogenesis in wild-type mice and in mice lpr Fas-mutant stimulated with agonistic (mAb Jo2) and nonagonistic (mAb RMF6) anti-Fas mAbs and role of heparin in Fas-induced angiogenesis. 5 μg/ml anti-Fas mAb Jo2 or RMF6 were used. As standard procedure Matrigel was supplemented with 64 U/ml heparin (see Materials and Methods). In selected experiments, heparin was omitted or 64 μg/ml protamine was added. b-FGF was used at the dose of 10 ng/ml. The results were expressed as percentage ± SE of the vessel area to the total Matrigel area. ANOVA with Newmann-Keuls multi-comparison test was performed: control vs. mAb Jo2, mAb RMF6, and b-FGF (*P <0.05); mAb Jo2 in wild-type mice vs. mAb RMF6, mAb Jo2 without heparin, mAb Jo2 plus protamine, mAb Jo2 in lpr mice (§ P <0.05).
