Localization of intestinal intraepithelial T lymphocytes involves regulation of αEβ7 expression by transforming growth factor‐β
1 Apr 2002
Abstract excerpt
Induction of alphaEbeta7 expression on T cells by transforming growth factor (TGF)-beta is thought to be important for intestinal intraepithelial T lymphocyte (IEL) entry into the epithelial compartment. However, there has been no in vivo evidence that up-regulation of alphaEbeta7 expression on T cells by TGF-beta is critical for the selective localization of intestinal IEL in the epithelial area. We have...
