Confluent monolayers of TrHBMECs (A–C) and
HMVECs (D–F) were wounded by scraping with a pipette-man tip. The
cultures were allowed to recover for 18 h in the presence of
control IgG (A and D), antibody LM609 against αvβ3-integrin
(B and E), and antibody 2A3 against the α4 laminin subunit (C and F).
The cells in A and D have completely covered the wound site, whereas in
B, C, E, and F the wound sites (w) are incompletely closed (as
indicated by the line). Bar in D, 100 μm.
