Thrombin affects eosinophil migration via protease-activated receptor-1.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Cannabinoid (CB) 2 is expressed on immune and inflammatory cells. Identification of 2-arachidonyl glycerol (2-AG) and anandamide as endogenous CB2 ligands has allowed investigations of the roles of CB2 and its endogenous ligand system in inflammatory cells. However, the roles of this receptor-ligand system i...
