During an inflammatory response, leukocytes adhere to the blood-vessel wall and to underlying extracellular matrix-protein fibronectin via noncovalent interaction through two distinct cell-surface integrins, ct5131 and ~4[~1. An Arg-Gly-Asp tripeptide in the cell-binding domain of fibronectin has be
