Publisher Summary CD44 is a ubiquitous multistructural and multifunctional cell surface
adhesion molecule involved in cell–cell and cell–matrix interactions. CD44s is a single …

Abstract Development of a malaria vaccine remains a critical priority to decrease clinical
disease and mortality and facilitate eradication. Accordingly, RTS, S, a protein-subunit …

Intercellular adhesion molecules play an important role in the generation of T lymphocyte–
mediated immune responses. Here, we describe a novel accessory molecule, DNAX …

Publisher Summary This chapter focuses on CD44 and its interaction with extracellular
matrix. CD44 is a broadly distributed family of cell surface glycoprotein that has been studied …

Cloned CD4 T cell lines that recognize the Ac1-16 peptide of myelin basic protein bound to I-
Au were isolated and used to analyze the immunopathogenesis of experimental …

CD8 T cells respond to viral infections but also participate in defense against bacterial and
protozoal infections. In the last few years, as new methods to accurately quantify and …

The conventional approach to cytotoxic T-lymphocyte (CTL) induction uses maximal antigen
concentration with the intent of eliciting more CTL. However, the efficacy of this approach …

The extravasation of leukocytes from the blood into tissues occurs as a multistep process: an
initial transient interaction (" rolling"), generally thought to be mediated by the selectin family …

Live vectors expressing foreign antigens have been used to induce immunity against
several pathogens. However, for the virulent rodent malaria parasite Plasmodium yoelii, the …

An ELISPOT assay to detect and determine the number of antigen specific CD8+ T cells was
standardized using cloned murine CD8+ T cells specific for the epitope SYVPSAEQI of a …
