In vitro adherence of Staphylococcus aureus to endothelial cells. FITC-labeled bacteria were incubated with endothelial cells and adherence of Staphylococcus aureus to endothelial cells was measured using FACS analysis in the presence of MAb 74.5.2 (black bars; n = 5) and in respective controls (serum free medium + 10% FCS; white bars; n = 5). The experiments were performed with (A) and without TNF-α treatment (B). Values are given as means ± SEM.
