Studies on transcriptional regulation of the mucosal T‐cell integrin αEβ7 (CD103)
1 Jun 2001
Abstract excerpt
Integrin alphaEbeta7 is expressed almost exclusively by mucosal T cells and mucosal dendritic antigen-presenting cells (APCs) and is thought to be induced locally by transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta). In mice, mRNA for the alphaE subunit was found to be abundant in mucosal T cells but absent from other tissues. Exposure of a T-cell line to TGF-beta strongly up-regulated alphaE mRNA levels within 30 min,...
