Characterization of murine intercellular adhesion molecule-2.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Rat mAbs were raised against murine intercellular adhesion molecule-2 (ICAM-2). Immune precipitation and purification reveal that the murine ICAM-2 glycoprotein is 55 kDa and is similar in size to human ICAM-2. ICAM-2 is expressed on a variety of leukocyte cell lines, including T and B lymphoma, mastocytoma, and macrophage lines. ICAM-2 is well expressed on endothelioma cell lines, and in contrast to ICAM-1, expression is not increased by inflammatory cytokines. One of the mAb to ICAM-2 partially or completely inhibits binding of cells expressing LFA-1 to purified ICAM-2, and binding of cells expressing ICAM-2 to purified LFA-1. The findings in the mouse are congruent with those in the human, suggesting functional conservation of ICAM-2 across species.

Background & Aims : Aging and the loss of endogenous estrogen production after menopause are accompanied by increases in blood pressure and endothelial dysfunction. Exercise training improves endothelial function in patients with hypertension. The aim of this study was to examine the effect of aerobic training on some markers of endothelial function in hypertensive postmenopausal women. M...
متن کاملIntercellular adhesion molecule-4 and CD36 are implicated in the abnormal adhesiveness of sickle cell SAD mouse erythrocytes to endothelium.
BACKGROUND Abnormal adhesiveness of red blood cells to endothelium has been implicated in vaso-occlusive crisis of sickle cell disease. The present study examined whether the SAD mouse model exhibits the same abnormalities of red blood cell adhesion as those found in human sickle cell disease. DESIGN AND METHODS The repertoire of adhesive molecules on murine erythrocytes and bEnd.3 microvascu...

متن کاملIntercellular adhesion molecule-1 is upregulated in ischemic muscle, which mediates trafficking of endothelial progenitor cells.
BACKGROUND Trafficking of transplanted endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) to an ischemic organ is a critical step in neovascularization. This study was performed to elucidate the molecular mechanism of EPC trafficking in terms of adhesion molecules. METHODS AND RESULTS Using murine hindlimb ischemia model, we examined expressions of E-selectin, intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1), vas...
