Abstract excerpt
The junctional adhesion molecule C (JAM-C) was recently shown to undergo a heterophilic interaction with the leukocyte beta2 integrin Mac-1, thereby mediating interactions between vascular cells in inflammatory cell recruitment. Here, the homophilic interaction of JAM-C is presented and functionally characterized to mediate tumor cell-endothelial cell interactions. Recombinant soluble JAM-C in fluid phase bound...
