Abstract excerpt
We have previously shown that the engagement of ICAM-1 on brain endothelial cells (EC) results in the propagation of EC signaling pathways that are necessary for efficient lymphocyte migration across the tight vascular barriers of the brain. Signaling via this receptor alone, however, is unlikely to explain the differential recruitment of leukocytes at different vascular beds. In this study, we investigated the...
