Abstract
In order to extravasate the bloodstream at specific sites of inflammation or antigen presentation, circulating leukocytes must rapidly translate specific adhesive and stimulatory signals into firm adhesion. Leukocyte arrest is nearly exclusively mediated by integrin receptors. Recent in vitro and in vivo evidence suggests that specialized integrins support reversible tethers that slow down selectin-initiated rolling of leukocytes prior to their arrest. In situ activation of integrin avidity by ligand and chemokine signaling can take place within fractions of seconds, resulting either in augmented reversible adhesions or immediate arrest on the vascular endothelium. The ability of leukocyte integrins to rapidly respond to these in situ avidity modulators appears to depend on preformed affinity and clustering states, which are internally regulated by cytoskeletal constraints on integrin conformation and mobility. We discuss potential regulatory mechanisms by which a given set of chemokine receptors and integrins may interact to rapidly generate high avidity, shear-resistant integrin-mediated leukocyte arrest on vascular endothelium.

Abstract
To investigate the role of LFA-1 in the immune defects in DS patients, we analysed lymphocytes from DS patients in LFA-1 expression and LFA-1 mediated cell adhesion. DS patients less than 2 years of age expressed a higher level of LFA-1 when compared with age-matched controls. The difference in LFA-1 expression was much less significant in older DS patients when compared with age-matched children. Although older children (2-15-year-old groups) without DS tend to increase their expression of lymphocyte LFA-1 when compared with younger normal children (0-2 years old), DS patients showed no age-associated increase in lymphocyte LFA-1 expression. Two-colour analysis with CD4/CD8 and LFA-1 in patients and controls showed that proportions of CD4 + lymphocytes were comparable in DS patients and controls, while the proportion of CD8 + lymphocytes was higher in older DS patients. Expression levels of LFA-1 on both CD4 + and CD8 + lymphocytes in younger DS patients were higher when compared with age-matched controls and close to the expression levels in the older DS group. Proportions of memory lymphocytes expressing the CD45RO isoform were higher in both younger and older DS patients when compared with age-matched control groups. Noticeably, the LFA-1 expression levels on CD45RO lymphocytes from younger DS patients were higher than the levels of the controls and declined in the older DS group. We tested lymphocytes (EBV transformed B cells, resting and anti-CD3 stimulated T cells) for cellular adhesion to recombinant ICAM-1 and found that lymphocytes from DS patients were less adhesive, even though their beta2 integrin expression was comparable with that of normal controls. These results suggest that more generalized pathological processes, such as early senescence of the immune system or ineffective lymphocyte activation, and subsequent integrin dysfunction may underlie the immune defects in DS patients.

Abstract
Chemokines and their receptors determine the distribution of leukocytes within tissues in health and disease. We have studied the role of the constitutive chemokine receptor CXCR4 and its ligand, stromal-derived factor-1 (SDF-1) in the perivascular accumulation of T cells in rheumatoid arthritis. We show that synovial T cells, which are primed CD45RO+CD45RBdull cells and consequently not expected to express constitutive chemokine receptors, have high levels of the chemokine receptor CXCR4. Sustained expression of CXCR4 was maintained on synovial T cells by specific factors present within the synovial microenvironment. Extensive screening revealed that TGF-beta isoforms induce the expression of CXCR4 on CD4 T cells in vitro. Depletion studies using synovial fluid confirmed an important role for TGF-beta1 in the induction of CXCR4 expression in vivo. The only known ligand for CXCR4 is SDF-1. We found SDF-1 on synovial endothelial cells and showed that SDF-1 was able to induce strong integrin-mediated adhesion of synovial fluid T cells to fibronectin and ICAM-1, confirming that CXCR4 expressed on synovial T cells was functional. These results suggest that the persistent induction of CXCR4 on synovial T cells by TGF-beta1 leads to their active, SDF-1-mediated retention in a perivascular distribution within the rheumatoid synovium.

Abstract
Cell adhesion through different adhesion molecules is a crucial event in the inflammatory response. Integrins can only bind and mediate cellular adhesion after their activation by different specific stimuli. The state of beta1 integrin activation can be assessed by a group of monoclonal antibodies (HUTS) that selectively recognize beta1 integrins in their active form. A similar activated epitope in the rat was defined using the anti-human monoclonal antibody HUTS-21, which recognizes an activation-dependent epitope on the beta1 chain. It was found that the divalent cations Mn(2+) and Hg(2+) were able to induce in vitro the activation of beta1 integrins on rat lymphocytes. The Hg(2+) cation induces an autoimmune disease in the Brown Norway rat characterized by synthesis and glomerular deposits of anti-glomerular basement membrane antibodies, proteinuria, and interstitial nephritis. Using the mercury model of nephritis, it was found that the expression of HUTS-21 epitope is induced in vivo in rat lymphocytes, and its appearance is correlated with the other parameters at the onset of the disease. In addition, the administration of HUTS-21 monoclonal antibody to HgCl(2)-treated rats offered evidence of its protective effects (1) against infiltration of renal interstitium by leukocytes, and (2) in the reduction of anti-glomerular basement membrane synthesis and glomerular deposition. Nevertheless, urinary protein values remained unaffected. These results demonstrate a key role of beta1-activated integrins in both leukocyte cell-cell interactions and leukocyte infiltration pathway mechanism, and also indicate that leukocyte migration may have less importance in the development of this disease than previously thought.

Abstract
Many important transgenic mouse models of benign and neoplastic skin diseases have been generated through the use of promoters that target transgene expression to the different epidermal layers. However, more mechanistic studies of the specific effects of the transgenes on keratinocytes have been hampered by difficulties in culturing keratinocytes from adult mouse epidermis and by the low differentiation potential of many established mouse keratinocyte lines. We have used the Rheinwald & Green technique to cultivate primary adult keratinocytes and to generate keratinocyte lines from transgenic mice which have a sporadic psoriatic phenotype due to expression of human integrin subunits under the control of the involucrin promoter. We show that the transgenes are induced when keratinocytes are placed in suspension and that the transgenic integrins are capable of clustering in focal adhesions and mediating cell adhesion and spreading. We also show that suprabasal integrin expression has no direct effect on proliferation of cells in the underlying basal layer, ruling this out as a possible explanation for the epidermal hyperproliferation observed in the transgenic mice.

Abstract
Within the basal layer of the epidermis the beta1 integrins have a pericellular distribution. Two monoclonal antibodies, 15/7 and 12G10, that detect a conformation of the beta1 integrin subunit that is induced following cation or ligand occupancy selectively recognized beta1 integrins at the basement membrane zone in vivo and in focal adhesions of cultured keratinocytes; they did not recognize integrins on the apical and upper lateral membranes of basal keratinocytes nor integrins on the suprabasal keratinocytes of hyperproliferative epidermis. Inhibition of intercellular adhesion did not induce the 15/7 epitope on the lateral and apical membrane domains. The surface distribution of the epitopes was consistent with the antibodies acting as reporters of ligand-binding; in addition, the 15/7 epitope was exposed on unglycosylated, immature beta1 integrins. Although the apical membrane of basal keratinocytes is not normally in contact with extracellular matrix proteins, we found that it was capable of binding fibronectin-coated beads and that the 15/7 epitope was exposed on plasma membrane in contact with the beads. When a chimeric molecule consisting of the extracellular domain of CD8 and the cytoplasmic domain of the beta1 integrin subunit, used to mimic a constitutively active beta1 heterodimer, was introduced into keratinocytes it localized to the basal, lateral and apical membrane domains. We conclude that although the conformation of the keratinocyte beta1 integrins differs between the basal and the lateral/apical membrane domains there is no intrinsic polarity in the ligand binding potential of the receptors.

Abstract
Abstract
It has been shown that cells with high affinity very late Ag (VLA)-integrins have up-regulated expression of a β1-subunit epitope, which is detected by 15/7 mAb. In this study, we demonstrate that soluble VCAM-1 (sVCAM-1) exhibits chemotactic activity of T cells with high affinity VLA-4 against VCAM-1, such as Jurkat T cells and IL-2-dependent T cells. Moreover, we found that T cells in the synovial fluid show high basal migration in the absence of sVCAM-1, compared with peripheral blood T cells in patients with rheumatoid arthritis. Among T cells in the synovial fluid, CD45RO+ memory T cells, in response to sVCAM-1, showed a much higher than basal migratory response when compared with CD45RA+ naive cells, while no significant difference was observed between CD4+ and CD8+ T cells. The chemotactic activity of sVCAM-1 is inhibited in the presence of anti-VCAM-1 and anti-VLA-4, which interfered with the binding between VCAM-1 and VLA-4. Inhibition studies using various kinase inhibitors (C3 exoenzyme, KN62, and H7) show that Rho, Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent kinase II, and protein kinase C are involved in signal transduction in sVCAM-1-induced chemotaxis, respectively, whereas tyrosine kinase seems to play a lesser role, since genistein showed only partial inhibition of T cell chemotaxis. Western blot analysis using an anti-phospho-serine mAb (MO82) reveals that Ser82 in the vimentin is phosphorylated specifically by Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent kinase II through sVCAM-1 activation in the IL-2 dependent T cells. Collectively, by inducing migration and recruitment of T cells through several kinase activations, sVCAM-1 contributes to the development of the inflammation of synovial lesion.

Abstract
Data from the literature indicate that ICAM-1 molecules play an important role in keratinocyte interactions with lymphocytes via the lymphocyte function-associated-1 lymphocyte-adhesion molecule. We examined the role of beta1 integrins in keratinocyte-lymphocyte adhesion under different activation conditions. Among the beta1 integrins expressed on keratinocytes and lymphocytes detected by indirect immunofluorescence microscopy and flow cytofluorometry, primarily the alpha2 and the alpha3 subunits on both cell types were involved in keratinocyte-lymphocyte adhesion. Moreover, the highest adhesion level was observed when both cell types were activated by IFN-gamma for keratinocytes and phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate for lymphocytes, suggesting that the former involved the protein kinase C pathway. Keratinocyte activation, characterized by the expression of ICAM-1, a decrease of beta1 integrins, and the absence of alpha5beta1 integrin, was required for optimal lymphocyte adhesion. Thus, beta1 integrins remaining at the surface of IFN-gamma-treated keratinocytes could be activated by this cytokine, and could synergize with ICAM-1 and lymphocyte function-associated-1 molecules to consolidate keratinocyte-lymphocyte adhesion.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To study the effect of nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) on the adhesion of peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBL) to activated human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) under conditions that resemble blood flow. METHODS Assays of adhesion of PBL to HUVEC or recombinant vascular cell adhesion molecule 1 (rVCAM-1), intercellular adhesion molecule 1 (ICAM-1), and E-selectin were performed under continuous rotation at 37 degrees C. The phenotype of PBL subpopulations attached was characterized by flow cytometry. Lymphocytes were pretreated with different doses (5-100 microg/ml) of aceclofenac, diclofenac, indomethacin, or piroxicam or with inhibitory monoclonal antibodies (MAb) prior to the adhesion assays. The effect of NSAIDs on lymphocyte adhesion molecules was assessed by flow cytometry. To determine whether NSAIDs interfere with the affinity state of very late activation antigen 4 (VLA-4) integrin, we studied the effect of these drugs on the appearance of a beta1 activation-dependent epitope recognized by the HUTS21 MAb both on human T lymphoblasts and on synovial fluid lymphocytes (SFL). RESULTS In the flow-resembling model, PBL-HUVEC adhesion was mainly mediated by the VLA-4/ VCAM-1 adhesion pathway. The major PBL subset attached was the CD3+, CD45RO+ memory T cell, with CD49d(high) expression. Aceclofenac, diclofenac, and indomethacin, but not piroxicam, were able to inhibit PBL adhesion to HUVEC or rVCAM-1. However, the quantitative expression of VLA-4 was not affected by treatment of PBL with any of the NSAIDs studied. On T lymphoblasts and SFL, mostly CD45RO+ cells, the expression of the beta1 activation-dependent epitope detected by HUTS21 MAb was significantly decreased by aceclofenac, diclofenac, and indomethacin. CONCLUSION Some NSAIDs are able to inhibit the adhesion of PBL to HUVEC under conditions that resemble blood flow by interfering with the conformational change in VLA-4 that increases its affinity for VCAM-1.

Abstract
Abstract
We have herein studied the effect of pentoxifylline (PTX) on the adhesion and activation of human T lymphocytes. We found that PTX inhibited the adhesion of T cells to the β1 and β2 integrin ligands VCAM-1 and ICAM-1; this inhibitory activity was dose dependent, with a maximal effect from 12 to 24 h. We also found that PTX was able to interfere with the activation of β1 integrins induced by intracellular signals; however, the conformational change of β1 integrins induced by extracellular stimuli (e.g., activating mAbs, or Mn2+) was not significantly affected by this drug. In addition, the homotypic aggregation of T cells induced by anti-β1 and -β2 integrin chain mAbs was also inhibited by PTX. PTX had a significant inhibitory effect on the T lymphocyte expression of the activation Ags CD25 (IL-2Rα-chain), CD69 (activation-inducer molecule), and CD98 (4F2) induced by PHA. Accordingly, PTX also interfered with early cell activation events such as the rise in intracellular Ca2+ and the activation of the Na+/H+ antiporter induced by PHA and phorbol esters, respectively. Furthermore, this drug inhibited both the cell cycle progression and cell proliferation of T cells induced through the CD3/TCR complex. However, this drug did not show any effect on the cell activation/proliferation induced by PMA plus ionomycin. Our results indicate that PTX interferes efficiently with the activation and cell adhesion of human T lymphocytes. These effects may be of relevance for the clinical uses of this drug.

Abstract
The phenotype of T cells in the central nervous system (CNS) in two models of chronic inflammation (experimental allergic encephalomyelitis and Corynebacterium parvum-induced inflammation) was compared to that of T cells in gut and chronically inflamed subcutaneous tissue and lung. CNS T cells display a similar phenotype in both inflammatory models, and are phenotypically unique compared to T cells from the other inflamed tissues. T cells from inflamed CNS are mainly CD4+ and are the only population examined that express a typical activated/memory phenotype: CD44high/LFA-1high/ICAM-1high/CD45RBlow. The CNS T cells are alpha4beta7-integrin(negative), but express alpha4-integrin and activated beta1 integrin, suggesting expression of the alpha4beta1-heterodimer in an activated state. In contrast, most T cells in gut express low levels of activated beta1 integrin. The CNS T cells lack expression of alpha6 and alphaE integrin chains and L-selectin. In inflamed CNS and inflamed subcutaneous tissue, approximately 50% of T cells express high affinity ligands for P-selectin while fewer than 10% express high affinity ligands for E-selectin. In summary, our data show that, independent of the inflammatory stimulus, T cells recruited into the inflamed CNS are phenotypically distinct from T cells in other inflamed tissues. This finding leads us to hypothesize the existence of a phenotypically distinct 'CNS-seeking' T lymphocyte population.

Abstract
Here we show striking differences in conformational regulation among beta1 integrins. Upon manganese stimulation, a beta1 epitope defined by monoclonal antibody (mAb) 9EG7 was induced strongly (on alpha4beta1), moderately (on alpha5beta1), weakly (on alpha2beta1), or was scarcely detectable (on alpha6beta1 and alpha3beta1). Comparable results were seen for the beta1 epitope defined by mAb 15/7. Likewise, soluble ligands caused strong (alpha4beta1), moderate (alpha5beta1), weak (alpha2beta1, alpha6beta1), or minimal (alpha3beta1) induction of the 9EG7 epitope. Exchange or deletion of alpha chain cytoplasmic tails did not alter Mn2+-induced 9EG7 epitope levels. Upon removal of calcium by EGTA or EDTA, the hierarchy of 9EG7 epitope induction was similar (alpha5beta1 > alpha2beta1 > alpha6beta1 > alpha3beta1), except that EGTA reduced rather than induced 9EG7 expression on alpha4beta1. Thus in contrast to other beta1 integrins, calcium uniquely supports constitutive expression of the 9EG7 epitope on alpha4beta1. Likewise, calcium supported vascular cell adhesion molecule-stimulated 9EG7 appearance on alpha4beta1, whereas calcium inhibited ligand-induced 9EG7 epitope on other integrins. Constitutive expression of 9EG7 on alpha4beta1 was eliminated by a D698E mutation in alpha4, suggesting that Asp-698 may play a key role in maintaining atypical alpha4beta1 response to calcium. In conclusion, our results (i) demonstrate that mAb such as 9EG7 and 15/7 have limited diagnostic utility as reporters of ligand or Mn2+ occupancy for beta1 integrins, (ii) indicate pronounced differences in conformational flexibilities (alpha4beta1 > alpha5beta1 > alpha2beta1 > alpha6beta1 > alpha3beta1), (iii) allow us to hypothesize that beta1 integrins may differ markedly in conformation-dependent inside-out signaling, and (iv) have uncovered an atypical alpha4beta1 response to calcium that requires alpha4 Asp-698.

Abstract
Many cell-surface and extracellular matrix proteins contain multiple modular domains known as fibronectin type III (FNIII) repeats. Cells adhere to the extracellular matrix proteins fibronectin and tenascin in part by the interaction of certain integrins with the Arg-Gly-Asp (RGD) sequence, displayed on specific FNIII repeats. We have found that, after experimental activation of beta1 integrins, a number of cell types adhere and spread on FNIII repeats lacking RGD, derived from extracellular matrix proteins and cytokine receptors. Interaction between individual FNIII domains and beta1 integrins mediates focal adhesion kinase phosphorylation and subsequent stress fiber and focal contact formation. These data suggest that many FNIII-containing proteins may bind and signal through activated beta1 integrins, dramatically expanding the potential for integrin-dependent intercellular and cell-matrix communication.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To explore the effect of the nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) piroxicam and meloxicam on quantitative and qualitative changes in leukocyte adhesion receptors induced by cytokines and other activation stimuli. METHODS The expression of CD11b and L-selectin during neutrophil activation with tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF alpha), granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF), FMLP, phorbol myristate acetate (PMA), and calcium ionophore A23187 was assessed by flow cytometry. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays were used to quantitate soluble L-selectin shed after neutrophil stimulation. Enzyme release was measured to determine neutrophil degranulation by proinflammatory stimuli. Changes in affinity state of beta 1 and beta 2 integrins after neutrophil and T lymphocyte stimulation were assessed, by flow cytometry, using the monoclonal antibodies (MAb) HUTS-21 (anti-beta 1) and CBRM1/5 (anti-CD11b), which recognize activation-dependent epitopes on these two integrins. RESULTS Pretreatment of neutrophils with either NSAID prevented the changes in L-selectin and CD11b expression induced by TNF alpha, GM-CSF, and FMLP, but not those induced by PMA or A23187. Furthermore, piroxicam significantly decreased the amount of L-selectin shed by cytokine-treated neutrophils, whereas it did not exert this effect on PMA- or A23187-treated neutrophils. Piroxicam also decreased the release of gelatinase and lysozyme induced by TNF alpha, but not by PMA. Interestingly, piroxicam prevented the conformational changes that beta 2 integrins underwent upon activation of neutrophils: the appearance of the activation epitope of CD11b, detected by the CBRM1/5 MAb, was blocked by piroxicam in TNF alpha-treated neutrophils. Moreover, in chemokine-treated T lymphocytes, the expression of activation epitopes on beta 1 integrins was also diminished by piroxicam. In contrast, this NSAID did not affect the beta 1 integrin conformational changes induced by PMA or Mn++. CONCLUSION Our results indicate that members of the oxicam family are able to interfere with events of neutrophil function, such as their degranulation and cytokine-mediated activation changes in adhesion molecules, both in neutrophils and in lymphocytes. Such effects may significantly contribute to the antiinflammatory activity of these drugs.

Abstract
The state of integrin activation can be assessed by monoclonal antibodies (mAb) that selectively recognize integrins in their active form. We demonstrate herein that the expression of the epitope recognized by mAb HUTS-21 is induced on T lymphoblasts upon binding of soluble vascular cell adhesion molecule (VCAM)-1 and an 80-kDa tryptic fragment of fibronectin (FN80) to the beta1 integrins very late activation antigen (VLA)-4 and VLA-5, and that this effect is dependent on ligand concentration and is specific for beta1 integrins. On T lymphoblasts adhering to immobilized fibronectin, the HUTS-21 epitope localized exclusively to sites of integrin binding to fibronectin. These results indicate that mAb HUTS-21 recognizes a ligand-induced binding site (LIBS) on the common beta1 subunit of VLA proteins. Engagement of beta1 integrins through this LIBS epitope inhibited T lymphoblast movement on fibronectin, as determined by quantitative time-lapse video microscopy studies. Furthermore, the HUTS-21 mAb also prevented T lymphoblast-directed migration through gradients of substratum-immobilized beta1 integrin ligands such as fibronectin or VCAM-1, whereas it did not affect migration on intercellular adhesion molecule (ICAM)-1. This anti-LIBS mAb stimulated cell adhesion through postreceptor events, without affecting receptor affinity for ligand, and appears to interfere with cell migration by a mechanism distinct from that of other anti-beta1 activating antibodies.

Abstract
We have investigated the contribution of integrin alpha 4 beta 7 to human peripheral blood eosinophil adhesive interactions. Immunofluorescence and flow cytometry demonstrated constitutive expression of alpha 4 beta 7 by eosinophils. Expression of alpha 4 beta 7 or alpha 4 beta 7 was not enhanced by eosinophil activation with platelet-activating factor (PAF). Expression of alpha 4 beta 7 was confirmed by immuno-precipitation of 125I-labeled lysates analysed by sodium dodecyl sulphate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS PAGE). Approximately 20% of unstimulated eosinophils were adherent to L1-2 cells transfected with vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1) cDNA, while very few resting eosinophils adhered to mouse mucosal adressin cell adhesion molecule-1 (MAdCAM-1) transfectants. Binding of unstimulated eosinophils to VCAM-1 transfectant was inhibited by HPI 2 (an antibody that blocks both alpha 4 beta 1 and alpha 4 beta 7 functions), but not Act-1, and alpha 4 beta 1 monoclonal antibody (mAb). PAF stimulation resulted in increased binding of eosinophils to MAdCAM-1 transfectants, which was inhibited by both HPI 2 and Act-1. In contrast, PAF did not enhance binding to VCAM 1 transfectants, although binding of PAE-stimulated eosinophils to VCAM-1 could be partially inhibited by Act-1. Stimulation of eosinophils with the beta 7-activating mAb TS2 16 resulted in enhanced binding of eosinophils to both VCAM-1 and MAdCAM-1 transfectants. The increased binding was largely alpha 4 beta 7-dependent. Unstimulated eosinophils bound to soluble recombinant human (rh) VCAM-1 and fibronectin (Fn), coated on 96-well plates in dose-dependent manner. Binding was inhibited by HPI-2 and 4b4, an anti-beta 1 mAb, but not by Act-1. TS2 16 treatment increased adherent cell numbers and this enhanced binding was inhibited by Act-1. We have therefore confirmed that alpha 4 beta 7 is functionally active on unstimulated eosinophils. In contrast, PAF-induced enhancement of eosinophils binding to VCAM-1 or MAdCAM-1 was alpha 4 beta 7-dependent. In addition treatment with TS2 16 resulted in a alpha 4 beta 7-dependent enhancement of eosinophil binding to VCAM-1, MAdCAM-1 and Fn. We therefore hypothesize that alpha 4 beta 7 may have an important role in eosinophil localization in diseases such as asthma and inflammatory bowel disease.

Abstract
The very late activation antigens (VLA) or beta 1 integrins mediate cell attachment to different extracellular matrix proteins and intercellular adhesions. The ligand binding activity of these adhesion receptors is not constitutive and can be regulated by temperature, presence of extracellular divalent cations, stimulatory monoclonal antibodies (mAbs), and cellular activation. We have generated three novel mAbs, HUTS-4, HUTS-7, and HUTS-21, recognizing specific epitopes on the common beta 1 subunit (CD29) of VLA integrins whose expression correlates with the ligand binding activity of these heterodimeric glycoproteins. This correlation has been demonstrated for several integrin heterodimers in different cell systems using a variety of extracellular and intracellular stimuli for integrin activation. Thus, the presence of micromolar concentrations of extracellular Mn2+, preincubation with the activating anti-beta 1 mAb TS2/16, and cell treatment with phorbol esters or calcium ionophores, induced the expression of the HUTS beta 1 epitopes on T lymphoblasts. Using a panel of human-mouse beta 1 chimeric molecules, we have mapped these epitopes to the 355-425 sequence of the beta 1 polypeptide. This segment represents therefore a novel regulatory region of beta 1 that is exposed upon integrin activation. Interestingly, binding of HUTS mAbs to partially activated VLA integrins results in maximal activation of these adhesion receptors and enhancement of cell adhesion to beta 1 integrin ligands collagen, laminin, and fibronectin.
