Specificity of Cn and HIV gp41 in induced monocyte transmigration across HBMEC monolayers. a Monocytes transmigration rate of Cn, H-Cn, HIV-1 gp41, HIV Tat, and HIV p24. HBMEC monolayers were treated with Cn, H-Cn, gp41, Tat or p24 respectively. Transmigration assays we performed as described as Methods section. b These are no synergistic effect of monocytes transmigration following BMEC treatment with H-Cn and HIV-1 gp41. c These are no synergistic effect of monocytes transmigration following BMEC treatment with Cn and HIV Tat. The values represent the mean percent transmigrating THP-1 of triplicate samples and are representative of one experiment from three independent experiments showing similar data. *P < 0.05, ***P < 0.001 compared with control
