Cloning of the human gene for intercellular adhesion molecule 1 and analysis of its 5’-regulatory region. Induction by cytokines and phorbol ester
1 Oct 1991
Abstract excerpt
Human intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1), a specific ligand for the lymphocyte function-associated Ag-1 (LFA-1), plays an important role in leukocyte-endothelial cell interactions. It is induced by proinflammatory cytokines such as IL-1, TNF-alpha, or IFN-gamma. However, little is known concerning the intracellular regulatory mechanisms which trigger ICAM-1 up-regulation. In order to study potential...
