Analysis of IL-1β and TNFα regulation of adhesion molecules involved in basolateral matrix interactions. The flow plots show the cell-surface expression levels of adhesion molecules 24 h after cytokine treatment (5 ng/mL), with the specific adhesion molecule denoted in the top of the panel. The black line denotes the autofluorescence of the cells. The blue curve represents the basal level of expression, whereas the red curve is the expression level following cytokine treatment. These data are from a single experiment, which is representative of at least three independent experiments. Additional adhesion molecules were also investigated, and these are shown in Additional file 3: Figure S3
