The rolling ratio of fluorescence-labelled monocytes in submucosal venules of small intestine.

	Rolling ratio (%)
Control	21 ± 2
IFN-α	42 ± 2#
IFN-α + anti-P-selectin	21 ± 3*
IFN-α + anti-platelet	30 ± 2*

Effect of interferon (IFN)-α and monoclonal antibodies. Rolling monocytes were counted for 30 min after infusion of 5,6-carboxy-succinimidyl fluorescein-ester (CFSE)-labelled monocytes. Rolling ratio was expressed as percentage of total number of monocytes appearing.

^#P < 0·05 versus control;

^*P < 0·05 versus IFN-α-treated group.
