Over the past decade, the International Workshop on Human Leucocyte Differentiation
Antigens has set about organizing the myriad of proteins found on the surfaces of white …

Hyaluronic acid (HA) plays the main structural role in the formation of brain extracellular
matrix (ECM). The extracellular space appears empty by electron microscopy because HA is …

CD44 is a broadly distributed cell surface protein thought to mediate cell attachment to
extracellular matrix components or specific cell surface ligands. We have created soluble …

The hyaluronan receptor belongs to the polymorphic family of CD44 glycoproteins, which
have been implicated in a variety of cellular functions including adhesion to hyaluronan and …

The extravasation of leukocytes from the blood into tissues occurs as a multistep process: an
initial transient interaction (" rolling"), generally thought to be mediated by the selectin family …

Many transcription factors regulate specific temporal-spatial events during cardiac
differentiation; however, the mechanisms that regulate such events are largely unknown …

A cell adhesion model was previously used to select a series of monoclonal antibodies
(mAbs), which were subsequently found to recognize CD44/Pgp-1. Interest in these …

Macrophages participate in inflammatory and repair processes in part through the selective
release of cytokines that contribute to tissue remodeling. Extracellular matrix components …

The localization of circulating leukocytes within inflamed tissues occurs as the result of
interactions with and migration across vascular endothelium, and is governed, in part, by the …

The present study was undertaken to determine the relationship between the hyaluronate
receptor and CD44 (H-CAM), cell-surface glycoproteins of similar molecular weights that …
