Unstimulated human fibroblasts show low or undetectable ICAM-1 expression. Interferon-beta (IFN-beta) at concentrations of 10, 100, and 1000 IU/ml in the presence of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) significantly increased the ICAM-1 expression of fibroblasts in a dose-dependent manner. Treatment with IFN-beta alone, however, did not up-regulate the ICAM-1 expression. Furthermore the attachment of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) to cytokine-treated fibroblasts was increased. This augmented attachment was partly inhibited by anti-ICAM-1 antibody. These results suggest that IFN-beta and TNF-alpha may cooperatively modulate the attachment of PBMCs in the dermis.

D005434 Flow Cytometry Technique using an instrument system for making, processing, and displaying one or more measurements on individual cells obtained from a cell suspension. Cells are usually stained with one or more fluorescent dyes specific to cell components of interest, e.g., DNA, and fluorescence of each cell is measured as it rapidly transverses the excitation beam (laser or mercury arc lamp). Fluorescence provides a quantitative measure of various biochemical and biophysical properties of the cell, as well as a basis for cell sorting. Other measurable optical parameters include light absorption and light scattering, the latter being applicable to the measurement of cell size, shape, density, granularity, and stain uptake.

D014409 Tumor Necrosis Factor-alpha Serum glycoprotein produced by activated MACROPHAGES and other mammalian MONONUCLEAR LEUKOCYTES. It has necrotizing activity against tumor cell lines and increases ability to reject tumor transplants. Also known as TNF-alpha, it is only 30% homologous to TNF-beta (LYMPHOTOXIN), but they share TNF RECEPTORS.
