Abstract excerpt
The integrin alpha 6 beta 1 is a receptor involved in the adhesion of several cell types to laminin. By using function-blocking antibodies, we have shown that alpha 6 beta 1 is a functional laminin receptor in chick embryo fibroblasts. We also found that these cells express two variants of the al...
