Characterization of Adsorbents for Cytokine Removal from Blood in an In Vitro Model

Figure 4

ICAM-1 and E-selectin expression by HUVEC. The effect of cytokine removal on endothelial cell activation was assessed by measuring the expressed adhesion molecules ICAM-1 and E-selectin after incubation of HUVECs with 10% of sample plasma from the adsorption experiments. The results are shown in mean ± SD.
