abstract：:Dopamine by itself has not up to now been reported to activate T cell function. We show here that dopamine interacts directly with dopaminergic receptors on normal human T cells and triggers beta1 integrin-mediated T cell adhesion to a major extracellular matrix component, fibronectin (FN). Such adhesion is a characte...
