Abstract excerpt
The accumulation of T cells within the joint is responsible for the perpetuation of synovitis. This process is partly regulated by selective binding to endothelium. However, adhesion to extra-cellular matrix proteins, like FN, may also be important. FN binding is mediated by certain members of the VLA (beta 1 integrin) family of proteins. To investigate the role of Tc-FN interactions in synovitis the binding of...
