Description

This is an examination of leukocyte integrins in the immune system and malignant disease. Issues addressed include: VLA-4 mediated signalling; the role of alpha4-integrins in T lymphocyte migration into the inflamed and noninflamed central nervous system; and alpha4-integrins and tumour metastasis.

Table of Contents

• VLA-4 mediated signalling
• functions of alpha4-beta7-integrins in haematopoiesis, lymphocyte trafficking and organ development
• regulation of integrin function by inside-out signalling mechanisms
• the role of alpha4-integrins in T lymphocyte migration into the inflamed and noninflamed central nervous system
• the roles of alpha4-integrins in the development of insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus
• immunosuppression by blocking alpha4-integrins/VCAM-1 adhesion
• virus-induced T cell aviation and the inflammatory response
• alpha4-integrins and tumour metastasis.
