The S128R polymorphism of E-selectin mediates neuraminidase-resistant tethering of myeloid cells under shear flow

Abstract excerpt

E-selectin mediates the rolling of circulating leukocytes on vascular endothelial cells. A polymorphism, in which serine is substituted for arginine at position 128 (S128R) in the EGF domain, has been associated with both early-onset atherosclerosis and SLE. We investigated whether the substitution alters the ligand-binding properties of E-selectin under shear flow by studying the capacity of Chinese hamster...
