Molecular cloning of the human mucosal lymphocyte integrin alpha E subunit. Unusual structure and restricted RNA distribution.
1 Feb 1994
Abstract excerpt
The human mucosal lymphocyte-1 (HML-1) antigen is expressed on a subclass of T-lymphocytes known as intra-epithelial lymphocytes which are located between mucosal epithelial cells. The HML-1 complex is known to mediate adhesion of intra-epithelial T-lymphocytes to epithelial cell monolayers in vitro. We and others have shown that the HML-1 antigen is an integrin composed of the beta 7 subunit in association with...
