Hintergrund
CD49d is a 150 kD glycoprotein, also known as integrin α4 or VLA-4 α chain. It is expressed as a heterodimer with either of two β chains, β1 or β7. The α4β1 integrin (also known as VLA-4, CD49d/CD29) is expressed on peripheral T and B lymphocytes, thymocytes, and monocytes, while the α4β7 integrin (also known as LPAM-1) is expressed on peripheral lymphocytes. The α4β1 and α4β7 integrins mediate cell-cell and cell-matrix interactions by interacting with the ligands CD106 (VCAM-1), MAdCAM-1, and fibronectin. Soluble MRα4-1 antibody can partially inhibit in vitro binding of VCAM-1 and mast cells to fibronectin and inhibit mast cell degranulation. Immobilized MRα4-1 antibody can enhance mast cell degranulation in vitro.
