U937 cells have low levels of surface thrombospondin (TSP) under control conditions but express higher levels after treatment for 1 day with 100 nM phorbol myristate acetate (PMA). Increased surface expression is due, in part, to increased biosynthesis. Untreated U937 cells do not adhere to TSP-coated plastic culture dishes but adhere strongly to TSP after stimulation with PMA. Untreated U937 cells also adhere weakly to endothelial cell monolayers while PMA-treated U937 cells attach strongly to monolayers of rat pulmonary artery endothelial cells. Endothelial cell adhesion appears to be mediated, in part, by TSP since antibodies to TSP partially inhibit.

D005455 Fluorescent Antibody Technique Test for tissue antigen using either a direct method, by conjugation of antibody with fluorescent dye (FLUORESCENT ANTIBODY TECHNIQUE, DIRECT) or an indirect method, by formation of antigen-antibody complex which is then labeled with fluorescein-conjugated anti-immunoglobulin antibody (FLUORESCENT ANTIBODY TECHNIQUE, INDIRECT). The tissue is then examined by fluorescence microscopy.
