Figure 6

Effect of lectins and anti-mannose-binding protein (MBP) antibody (Ab) on CD8 + cell adhesion to the oral epithelium in GVHD. Adhesion of CD8+ cells to the oral keratinocytes (KCs) were investigated by Stamper-Woodruff binding assay (SWBA). Binding of CD8+ cells was significantly decreased when the cells were pretreated with anti-MBP Ab, as well as when epithelia were pretreated with Lens culinaris lectin (LCA). The figure represents the results of three different experiments and expressed as mean ± standard deviation. Same symbols show no statistically significant differences. Others, significantly different at P < 0.05.
