Recombinant human (rh)SCARF-1 mediates the adherence of CD4+ T lymphocytes in the presence of rhVCAM-1, under conditions of flow. (a) A schematic representation of the immobilised protein flow assay. (b and c) Quantification of CD4+ and CD8+ T cells adhered to immobilised rhVCAM-1 (10 µg/ml) and VCAM-1 in the presence of rhSCARF-1 (10 µg/ml). (d and e) Quantification of CD4+ and CD8+ T cells adhered to immobilised rhVCAM-1 and rhSCARF-1 pre-treated with isotype matched control (IMC; 10 µg/ml) or SCARF-1 blocking antibody (10 µg/ml). ** and ****indicate statistical significance where p ≤ 0.01 and p ≤ 0.001, respectively. n = 3 independent experiments with different lymphocyte donors, with 12 fields of view taken from each.
