|
|
LFA-1 plays a role in ______.
|
Migration of both naive and effector T cells out the blood. It is also thought to be one of the most important adhesion molecules for T cell activation because antibodies against them inhibit activation of niave and armed effector T Cells.

|
class
different integrins within a class |
