Abstract excerpt
The leukocyte integrin alpha L beta 2 (LFA-1) is important in transendothelial migration. Since it is not fully understood how LFA-1 mediates transmigration, we studied the effects of alpha L and beta 2 cytoplasmic domain mutants that alter LFA-1 adhesiveness for intercellular adhesion molecule-1. Monocyte chemotactic protein-1 (MCP-1) induced LFA-1-dependent transendothelial migration of Jurkat and J-beta 2.7...
