Abstract excerpt
Dendritic cells (DCs) express CD44, a cell surface receptor for the extracellular matrix ligand hyaluronate, involved in cell-cell interactions and cell migration. Besides the "standard" form of CD44, a variety of splice variants contain an additional extracellular region encoded by 10 "variable" exons termed v1 to v10. The standard form of CD44 as well as variants containing exon v6 (CD44v6) are known to play...
