Human neural-crest-derived tumor cell lines, including three neuroblastomas, an astrocytoma, a glioblastoma, a rhabdomyosarcoma and a melanoma were screened for the expression of the integrin alpha 4 beta 1 (VLA-4). The neuroblastomas IMR-32 and SK-N-SH, the astrocytoma 131-INI, the glioblastoma Fog

Adhesion to collagens by most cell types is mediated by the integrins a1b1 and a2b1. Both integrin a subunits belong to a group which is characterized by the presence of an I domain in the N-terminal half of the molecule, and this domain has been implicated in the ligand recognition. Since purified
In normal adult human skin, expression of epidermal integrins is confined to keratinocytes in the basal layer. However, suprabasal expression of alpha 2, alpha 3 and beta 1 integrin subunits is noted in hyperproliferative epidermis in wound repair and psoriasis. In this study, we examined the effect
