Kinetics 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.
