The intercellular adhesion molecule (ICAM) 1 is an Ig-like cell adhesion molecule expressed
by several cell types, including leukocytes and endothelial cells. It can be induced in a cell …

Cell migration plays a key role in a wide variety of biological phenomena. This process is
particularly important for leukocyte function and the inflammatory response. Prior to …

Abstract Astrocyte elevated gene-1 (AEG-1) was initially identified as an HIV-1-and tumor
necrosis factor α (TNF-α)–inducible transcript in primary human fetal astrocytes by a rapid …

Leukocyte adhesion is of pivotal functional importance and this has resulted in extensive
research and rapid develoment in the field. Leukocyte adhesion involves members of three …

Interactions among leukocytes and leukocytes with immune-associated auxiliary cells
represent an essential feature of the immune response that requires the involvement of cell …

We investigated the role of acetylated microtubules in the antigen-specific interaction of T
helper and antigen-presenting cells (APCs). In T cells, acetylated microtubules concentrated …

During activation, T lymphocytes become motile cells, switching from a spherical to a
polarized shape. Chemokines and other chemotactic cytokines induce lymphocyte …

In multicellular organisms the development of adhesion bonds, either among cells or among
cells and components of the extracellular matrix, is a crucial process. These interactions are …

Leukocyte recruitment is a key step in the inflammatory reaction. Several changes in the cell
morphology take place during lymphocyte activation and migration: spheric-shaped resting …

Cells undergoing apoptosis are cleared rapidly by phagocytes, thus preventing tissue
damage caused by loss of plasma membrane integrity. In this study, we show that the …
