IINFLANMMATION has been a favored topic for research in recent years. It has graduated to
a three-volume treatise, duly bound in red;'symposia and monographs are plentiful; 2'there …

Publisher Summary This chapter focuses on the molecular biology of the leukocyte integrins,
LFA-1, Mac-1, and p150, 95, and on their role in mediating inflammation. Three recent …

To learn if refractory periodontitis may be associated with defects in peripheral blood
polymorphonuclear leukocyte (PMN) function, phagocytosis and chemotaxis were analyzed …

These experiments were designed to evaluate the role of macrophage plasma membrane
receptors for the third component of complement (C) and for the Fc portion of IgG in the …

Rho GTPases control a variety of cellular processes, including actin polymerization, integrin
complex formation, cell adhesion, gene transcription, cell cycle progression, and cell …

Actin, myosin, and a high molecular weight actin-binding protein were extracted from rabbit
alveolar macrophages with low ionic strength sucrose solutions containing ATP, EDTA, and …

In its simplest form, host reaction to injury relies on the ability of the host, eg a protozoa, to
engulf and digest the injurious agent and finally extrude the hannless debri. In primitive …

We have examined the effect of the distribution of anti-immunoglobulin IgG molecules on the
surface of bone marrow-derived lymphocytes upon the interaction of these cells with …

The application of modern scientific methods to the study of leukocyte function has begun to
reveal the molecular and cytostructural bases of the chemotactic responses of these cells …

Leukocyte adhesion deficiency disease is characterized by a mutation in the gene encoding
the beta-subunit shared by three adhesive heterodimers, LFA-1, Mac-1 (CR3) and p150, 95 …
