Popis: This study investigated the adherent properties and adhesion molecule expression of blood mononuclear cells (MNC) from a total of 84 patients with multiple sclerosis (MS). The MNC from MS patients were significantly more adherent than cells from normal healthy subjects to endothelial monolayers pretreated with 0.01 U/ml TNF-α (103% increase; P = 0.002), 0.1 U/ml TNF-α (80% increase; P
