چکیده

Leucocyte adhesion defect (LAD) is an inherited disorder of phagocytic function. It is characterized by inability of the leucocytes, in particular neutrophilis to migrate from the blood stream towards sites of inflammation. LAD -1 is characterized by the absence of b 2 integrins (CD 11 / CD18) on leucocytes. This disorder is characterized by delayed separation of the umbilical cord, recurrent severe infections, periodontitis, and delayed wound healing. We report an infant where the diagnosis was confirmed by flow cytometry.

EPITHELIAL CELL BIOLOGY Absence of Fer protein tyrosine kinase exacerbates endotoxin induced intestinal epithelial barrier dysfunction in vivo

Background and aims: Fer kinase is activated by a number of growth factors and cytokines, and phosphorylates cortactin during cell shape change induced cortical actin reorganisation. In addition, Fer participates in cytoskeletal interactions mediated by cadherins, platelet endothelial cell adhesion molecule 1 (PECAM-1), and integrins, and has recently been implicated in limiting the innate immu...

Dexamethasone inhibition of leucocyte adhesion to rat mesenteric postcapillary venules: role of intercellular adhesion molecule 1 and KC.

BACKGROUND A previous study showed that the glucocorticoid dexamethasone, at doses of 100 microg/kg and above, inhibited leucocyte adhesion to rat mesenteric postcapillary venules activated with interleukin 1beta (IL-1beta), as assessed by videomicroscopy. AIMS To identify whether the adhesion molecule, intercellular adhesion molecule 1 (ICAM-1), or the chemokine KC could be targeted by the s...

Vascular and epithelial junctions: a barrier for leucocyte migration.

Rapid mobilization of leucocytes through endothelial and epithelial barriers is key in immune system reactivity. The underlying mechanisms that regulate these processes have been the basis for many recent studies. Traditionally, leucocyte extravasation had been believed to occur through a paracellular route, which involves localized disruption of endothelial cell junctions. However, more recent...

In situ immunohistochemical analysis of cell adhesion molecules on human corneal endothelial cells.

Interaction of leucocytes with human corneal endothelial cells (HCECs) can be observed in several clinicopathological conditions, such as uveitis, keratitis, and corneal graft rejection. Since leucocyte-endothelial cell interactions involve various adhesion receptors we have analysed the expression and distribution pattern of the neural cell adhesion molecule (NCAM), the intercellular adhesion ...
