Endothelial cell activation in central nervous system inflammation.

abstract：:The interaction between CD40 on dendritic cells (DC) and its ligand CD154 has been recognized to be an important feature in the maturation of DC. Here, we were interested in the role of CD44 a surface receptor shown to mediate cell-cell adhesion and binding to Hyaluronic acid (HA). Western blot analysis of human DC st...
