Schematic representation of the main findings. (A) Schematic representation of the binding of circulating MPIO-αVCAM-1 selectively to activated endothelial cells expressing VCAM-1. Whereas other adhesion molecules are also expressed by quiescent endothelial cells, VCAM-1 is only expressed after activation. Therefore, MPIO-αVCAM-1 are specific for activated endothelial cells.
