Abstract excerpt
The regulation of T cell activation and adhesion by CD43 (leukosialin, sialophorin) has been thought to be mainly a function of the large size and negative charge of the extracellular domain of the protein. In this work, we demonstrate that the cytoplasmic tail is both necessary and sufficient for the negative regulatory effect of CD43 on cell-cell adhesion. Expression of mutant CD43 proteins in primary T cells...
