The effect of different concentrations (0.87,4.35,8.7,17.5, 25 and 35mg/mL) of intravenous immunoglobulin G (Endobulin@) on neutrophil-endothelial cell interaction was studied using an in vitro model of human umbilical cord vein endothelial cells and human neutrophils. Because adherence of neutrophi

β¦ Synopsis
We examined the effects of a-thrombin on the adherence of neutrophils to endothelial cell monolayers. Endothelial cells derived from the ovine pulmonary artery and ovine neutrophils were used. Thrombin M) resulted in a time-dependent increase in neutrophil adherence to the endothelium. The response was concentration-dependent with a maximal response at M. Thrombin did not induce neutrophil adherence either to plastic or to endothelial cell-derived matrix. The adherence response was inhibited in the presence of a-thrombin that had been inactivated with anti-thrombin Ill (1U:lU) or with hirudin (1 Ulml). However, the addition of either anti-thrombin Ill or hirudin simultaneously with a-thrombin to the cultured endothelial monolayers did not prevent neutrophil adherence. The monoclonal antibody MoAb 60.3, which precipitates a complex of four neutrophil surface glycoproteins (CDv18) was used to further characterize the reaction. MoAb 60.3 decreased the thrombin-induced adherence of neutrophils to the endothelial mono-

## Abstract In endβstage renal disease (ESRD) endothelium may represent a key target for the action of circulating elements, such as modified erythrocytes (RBC) and/or plasmatic factors, that may facilitate inflammation and the vasculopathy associated with uremia. We have previously demonstrated th
Cigatette smoking is ranked among the leading risk factors in the etiology of atherosclerotic vascular disease. The mechanisms, however, that link cigarette smoking to increased incidence of atherosclerosis are not understood. The adherence of circulating monocytes to the endothelium, migration into
Adenosine exerts a variety of partly divergent effects during postischemic reperfusion. Since the intravascular retention of neutrophils (PMN) is a crucial step in the development of organ reperfusion injury, we tested whether stimulation of human endothelial adenosine A 1 -receptors enhances adhesi
