Targeted Deletion of Integrin-Linked Kinase Reveals a Role in T-Cell Chemotaxis and Survival
28 Nov 2005
Abstract excerpt
Integrin-linked kinase (ILK) is a serine/threonine kinase that is important in cell-matrix interactions and cell signaling. To examine the role of ILK in leukocyte trafficking and survival, we generated T cell-specific ILK knockouts by breeding ILK(flox/flox) mice to transgenic mice expressing Cre recombinase under control of the Lck proximal promoter. Thymic T cells from Lck-Cre(+)/ILK(flox/flox) mice had a...
