Membrane potentials of chondrocytes were measured at rest in the absence or presence of the appropriate antibody and after 20 minutes of mechanical stimulation at 0.33 Hz. Bric 126 is a function-blocking anti-CD47/IAP antibody. B6H12 is an anti-CD47/IAP antibody that has partial agonist activity. SE5A5 is an anti-SIRPα antibody. N = 5. ap < 0.001; bnot significant. IAP, integrin-associated protein; SEM, standard error of the mean; SIRPα, signal-regulatory protein-alpha; TSP-1, thrombospondin-1.
