Shear stress-induced detachment of human polymorphonuclear leukocytes from endothelial cell monolayers

Abstract
We employed a static-incubation assay to determine the intensity of wall shear stress (τ ) needed to detach human polymorphonuclear leukocytes (HPMNs) from human umbilical vein endothelial cell (HUVE) monolayers. Confluent monolayers of HUVE were pla
