## Abstract ## Objective Beta 1 integrin is a representative adhesion molecule for cell–cell and cell–extracellular matrix interactions, and it provides costimulatory signals to T cells. However, the relevance of β1 integrin to T cell activation in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) remains unclea
We measured alpha 2-plasmin inhibitor-plasmin complexes (PI-PC) in plasma of patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) to examine the plasminogen activation in SLE. The plasma PI-PC level in 23 patients with SLE was significantly higher than that in 18 normal subjects (P less than 0.001) and
