endothelial dysfunction is thought to be a central pathogenic feature in preeclampsia on the basis of elevated adhesion molecules. soluble forms of these molecules can be detected in plasma, and their concentrations are thought to reflect the degree of activation of a particular cell type. the aim of the present study was to compare the levels of soluble vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (svcam...

Ectopie expression of Carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) by the mela noma cell line Mel Wei led to alterations in cell morphology and to changes in the expression of two melanoma-associated cell adhesion mol ecules, neural cell adhesion molecule and MUC18. The normally flat, triangular cells developed neurite-like extensions and exhibited a less organized growth pattern. When compared to untransfec...

glycans in the L2/HNK-1 carbohydrate epitope expressing neural adhesion molecule PO. Demonstration that a lectin-like receptor (Gp90Mel) directly mediates adhesion of lymphocytes to high endothelial veaules of lymph nodes. The neural cell adhesion molecule N-CAM enhances LI-dependent cell cell interactions. (1989) Specificity of binding of three soluble rat lung lectins to substituted and unsub...
