The effect of antigen stimulation on alpha(4), beta(1) and beta(7) chain integrin expression and function in CD4+ cells / M. Tarkowski, K.A. Pacheco, L.J. Rosenwasser. - In: INTERNATIONAL ARCHIVES OF ALLERGY AND IMMUNOLOGY. - ISSN 1018-2438. - 121:1(2000 Jan), pp. 25-33.
Abstract:
The alpha(4) integrin, as alpha(4)beta(1) (VLA-4) or alpha(4)beta(7), is critical for T cell migration and proliferation, although its functional modulation remains poorly understood. We hypothesized that increased receptor density, based on new receptor chain synthesis, was one such mechanism. We examined the surface receptor density of the alpha(4) and beta(1) chains on CD4+CD45RO+ cells, and the mRNA expression of these and the beta(7) chain in response to allergen and nonallergen antigen stimulation.
