Når det drejer sig om inflammation i centralnervesystemet (CNS) ved MS, er det interaktionen mellem α4β1 og VCAM- 1, CS- 1 og osteopontin, der medierer den faste adhæsion og transmigration af leukocytter ind i hjerneparenkymet og dermed foranlediger den uophørlige inflammatoriske kaskade i CNS væv.
In the setting of central nervous system (CNS) inflammation in MS, it is the interaction of α 4β 1 with VCAM-1, CS-1 and osteopontin that mediates the firm adhesion and transmigration of leukocytes into the brain parenchyma and may perpetuate the inflammatory cascade in CNS tissue.
