The neural cell adhesion molecule (NCAM) plays an important role in synaptic plasticity in embryonic and adult brain. Recently, it has been demonstrated that NCAM is capable of binding and hydrolyzing extracellular ATP. The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the role of extracellular ATP i

Objective. B lymphocytes accumulate in the inflamed joints of patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and are responsible for production of high amounts of (auto)-antibodies. The aim of this study was to determine the capacity of fibroblast-like synoviocytes (FLS) to contribute to the accumulation o
Neural cell adhesion molecules (CAMs) of the immunoglobulin superfamily nucleate and maintain groups of cells at key sites during early development and in the adult. In addition to their adhesive properties, binding of CAMs can affect intracellular signaling. Their ability to influence developmental
The effects of L1-Fc and CHL1-Fc fusion proteins on neuronal survival were investigated. Cerebellar granule neurons of mouse and hippocampal neurons of rat embryo undergo apoptosis when cultured in serum-free medium. Treatment with chimeric proteins containing the extracellular domains of the neural
Adhesion and accessory molecules play a critical role in T-cell activation and effector function in general and in tumor cell recognition and lysis in particular. We investigated the contribution of CD2, CD3, CD11a/CD18, CD54 and CD58 molecules in T lymphocyte-tumor cell interactions mediated by chi
The survival, proliferation and differentiation of neuroblastoma (NB) cells are largely dependent on adhesion to extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins. Integrin occupancy seems to play a primary role. To elucidate the role of integrin heterodimers during neuronal cell death, we have analysed the chang
