Fig 1. Expression of VE-cadherin is altered in endothelial cells by lupus serum.
Monolayer of bEnd3 cell and primary endothelial cells expressed VE-cadherin (green) on the cell surface (A and B). Treatment of cells with lupus serum increased the expression of VE-cadherin in endothelial cells and altered the staining pattern in a similar manner in both, primary cells and bEnd3 cells (C and D). Nuclei are stained blue (DAPI).
