Figure 4From: Regulation of trophoblast beta1-integrin expression by contact with endothelial cellsEffect of recombinant adhesion molecules on trophoblast β1 integrin expression. Trophoblasts were cultured for 24 h in dishes precoated with BSA (A) or recombinant forms of (B) PECAM-1, (C) ICAM-1, or (D) αVβ3 integrin. The cells were fixed in methanol and then stained for β1 integrin as described in Methods. Representative images from 3 separate experiments are shown. The bar represents 20 μm.Back to article page
