Acknowledgments
We wish to thank Professor Irwin W. Sherman for providing mAb 1C4. Hybridoma cell culture supernatant 1C4 was generously provided by Dr Ian Crandall. Dr Dror I. Baruch is thanked for assistance in performing cytoadherence assays and providing soluble CD36 and thrombospondin. We acknowledge kind gift of mAb 4B7 from Dr Kim Williamson and assistance with flow cytometry experiments from Dr Karen Piper. REH was supported by an MRC Studentship. KPD is funded by a Wellcome Trust Program Grant.
