The role of the integrin LFA‐1 in T‐lymphocyte migration

Abstract excerpt

A successful immune response depends on the migration of lymphocytes into lymph nodes or inflamed tissues where they make contact with antigen-presenting cells. We are interested in how one member of the integrin family, leukocyte function-associated antigen-1 (LFA-1), controls the function and, in particular, the migration of immune cells. We find that this integrin operates not only as an adhesion receptor for...
