Effect of blocking antibody to VCAM-1 on SMC migration. A cell-free zone was created on 70% confluent SMC with a pipette tip. Cells were then treated with medium only or medium containing 50 μg/ml isotype IgG or an antibody against VCAM-1 for 48 h. The number of SMC migrating into wound area was counted. Values are means ± S.D. of five individual experiments. *P <0.05 vs. treatment with medium only.
