The expression of intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) on pulmonary endothelial cells after stimulus and subsequent binding of neutrophils is a first step leading to lung injury. A similar process may dictate the binding of tumor cells to the pulmonary endothelium during metastasis. We report the development of a new technique that allowed us to monitor the location and relative expression of...
