摘要: The surface expression of 41 integrin (VLA-4) and LFA-1 is increased after T-cell activation. Expression VCAM-1—the major ligand for integrin—is on luminal endothelial-cell surfaces in active CNS plaques, as the ICAM-1, main LFA-1. ability or to bind VCAM-1 respectively, initiate migration activated T cells monocytes into can be inhibited by various methods: drugs that reduce (eg, statins); 8 monoclonal antibodies directly block interaction with availability ICAM-1 surface; antagonist peptides simulate binding regions VCAM-1. 9
