Fold change of mRNA expression of PECAM-1 (a), ICAM-1 (b) and VCAM-1 (c) gene expression at different time points in in vitro activated human PBLs related to unstimulated cells and after treatment with the cytokines TNF-α, IFN-γ, TGF-β, TNF-α and TGF-β. RT-PCR data were normalized with the housekeeping gene β-actin. Results represent the mean value±s.e.m. of five separate experiments (*P<0.05).
