(A, D) The number of MB-1 cells cocultured with MS-5 cells decreased in the presence of anti-mPOSTN Ab (A), and increased in the presence of excess amount of exogenous rmPOSTN (D).
(B, E) Mitogenicity of MB-1 cells, cocultured with MS-5 cells, measured by BrdU incorporation, was attenuated in the presence of anti-mPOSTN Ab (B), and slightly increased in the presence of excess amount of exogenous rmPOSTN (E).
(C, F) The number of cobblestone areas per visual field formed by MB-1 cells cocultured with MS-5 cells was counted. The number decreased in the presence of anti-mPOSTN Ab (C), but was unchanged when excess amount of exogenous rmPOSTN was added (F).
N = 3 (A, E), 8 (B), or 4 (C, D, F).
