Abstract excerpt
Structural requirements for beta 1 integrin cytoplasmic domain functions in adhesion, migration and signaling have been studied mainly for fibroblasts in vitro. The relevance for beta 1-dependent in vivo migration of lymphoid cells has not been assessed. To study this, we transfected beta 1 mutants into beta 1-deficient double knockout (DKO) ESb lymphoma cells, and tested the capacity of the cells to metastasize...
