Cells were incubated for 24 h with contact lenses directly out of packaging or after a 24-h soak in PBS. Integrin expression is expressed as a percentage relative to its expression on cells grown in the absence of a contact lens (control). n=3 to 4, the asterisk indicates significantly different from control, p<0.05 and the sharp indicates significantly different from control, p<0.01.
