Fibrinogen and Its Oxidized Form Induce Interleukin-2 Production in Cultured Endothelial Cells of Human Vessels

  • Published:
Bulletin of Experimental Biology and Medicine Aims and scope

Abstract

Oxidized fibrinogen was more potent than native fibrinogen in inducing interleukin-8 production in primary culture of human endothelial cells. The optimal concentration of oxidized fibrinogen was 3 mg/ml. The optimal time of UV irradiation was 17 min. Secretion of interleukin-8 was maximum during culturing of endothelial cells in a serum-free medium.
