BACKGROUND
Somatostatin (SS)-binding sites have been demonstrated in human lymphoid tissues and peripheral blood cells. However, not much is known with respect to the SS receptor subtype (sst)… (More)
The beta 2 integrin lymphocyte function-associated antigen 1 (LFA-1) mediates activation-dependent adhesion of lymphocytes. To investigate whether lymphocyte-specific elements are essential for LFA-1… (More)
OBJECTIVE
Somatostatin (SST) is a regulatory peptide with a wide variety of activities in different tissues. SST activates G(alpha i)-protein-coupled receptors of a family comprising five members… (More)
Multiple interactions exist between the immune, haematopoietic, endocrine and nervous systems (1,2). The bi-directional communication between the immune/haematopoietic and nervous systems is mediated… (More)
The regulatory peptide somatostatin (SST) acts via a family of G-protein-coupled receptors comprising five subtypes (SSTR1-5). G-protein-coupled receptors activate multiple signaling mechanisms,… (More)

INTRODUCTION
Somatostatin, originally identified as a peptide involved in neurotransmission, functions as an inhibitor of multiple cellular responses, including hormonal secretion and proliferation.… (More)
