Abstract excerpt
The tyrosine kinase Syk is associated with CD18, the beta-subunit of the leukocyte adhesion molecules of the beta(2) integrin family (CD11/CD18), and becomes activated upon beta(2) integrin-mediated adhesion. In this study, we elucidated the role of Syk in polarization and site-directed migration of neutrophil-like differentiated HL-60 cells and monocytic THP-1 cells. By means of confocal microscopy, we detected...
