The alpha 4-integrin supports leukocyte rolling and adhesion in chronically inflamed postcapillary venules in vivo
- Published 1996 in The Journal of experimental medicine
Abstract
A role for the alpha 4-integrin (alpha 4 beta 1 or alpha 4 beta 7), has been implicated in the recruitment of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) to sites of inflammation. However, the adhesive interactions (i.e., tethering, rolling, and adhesion) mediated by the alpha 4-integrin have not been characterized in vivo. The objective of this study was to… (More)
