Figure 5. Release of IL-8 from co-cultures of HUVEC and PLTs.

Figure 5

Levels of IL-8 (ng/ml) were quantified in supernatants of co-cultures of HUVEC (1×106 cells/well) (4 h in suspension, 37°C, 5% CO2) in direct contact with CON (n = 27) or SCA PLTs (1×108 PLTs/well; n = 44), (4 h, 37°C, 5% CO2); or following pre-incubation of HUVEC with TNF-α (10 ng/ml; N = 24; 3 h, 37°C, 5% CO2). ***, P<0.001, compared to basal (N = 24); +++, P<0.001, compared to all groups.
