Modulation of integrin‐mediated intercellular adhesion during the interaction of thymocytes with stromal cells expressing VLA‐4 and LFA‐1 ligands

Mature peripheral T cells closely regulate their intercellular interactions by modulating integrin adhesion functions. The ability of members of the integrin family to mediate intercellular adhesion is dependent on signals from within the cells (inside‐out signaling) that increase the avidity of int...
