Figure 2From: Statin-induced expression of CD59 on vascular endothelium in hypoxia: a potential mechanism for the anti-inflammatory actions of statins in rheumatoid arthritisKinetics for the upregulation of CD59 by atorvastatin. Endothelial cells were treated with atorvastatin (0.5 μM) for up to 72 hours in hypoxic conditions (1% O2) prior to flow-cytometric analysis of CD59 expression using the mAb BRIC 229. Results are expressed as the percentage increase in relative fluorescence intensity (RFI) above the unstimulated control ± standard error of the mean (n = 3), *P < 0.05.Back to article page
