From: HAM/TSP-derived HTLV-1-infected T cell lines promote morphological and functional changes in human astrocytes cell lines: possible role in the enhanced T cells recruitment into Central Nervous System

Fig. 1

Enhanced adhesion of HTLV-1-infected T cell lines onto human astrocytoma cell lines. HTLV-1-infected (CIB and C91PL) or non-infected (CEM) T cell lines were co-cultured with astrocytoma cell lines (U251) for 30 min. Representative microscopic fields of low magnification indicate higher adhesion degree of HTLV-1-infected T cell lines (b and c) versus non-infected T cell lines (a). Panel d depicts higher adhesion degree of HTLV-1-infected T cell lines (CIB and C91PL) as determined by the measurement of adhesion index. Values in panel (d) correspond to mean ± se of 3 independent experiments for each T cell line. *p < 0.05. Original magnifications: ×200
