Blocking the 4 integrin paxillin interaction selectively impairs mononuclear leukocyte recruitment to an inflammatory site
9 Feb 2006
Abstract excerpt
Antagonists to alpha4 integrin show promise for several autoimmune and inflammatory diseases but may exhibit mechanism-based toxicities. We tested the capacity of blockade of alpha4 integrin signaling to perturb functions involved in inflammation, while limiting potential adverse effects. We generated and characterized mice bearing a Y991A mutation in alpha4 integrin [alpha4(Y991A) mice], which blocks paxillin...
