Abstract excerpt
Vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM1) of the Ig superfamily is induced by the inflammatory cytokines interleukin-1 and tumor necrosis factor on human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs). It binds to mononuclear leukocytes via the integrin VLA-4. We have cloned and expressed a cDNA encoding a new form of human VCAM1 containing an additional Ig homologous domain inserted between the third and fourth...
