Binding and internalization of microorganisms by integrin receptors

R R Isberg et al. Trends Microbiol. 1994 Jan.

Abstract

Many microbial pathogens bind host-cell integrin receptors. These interactions are promoted either by a host protein binding the microorganism or by a surface-localized ligand encoded by the pathogen. Attachment facilitates extracellular adhesion of the microorganism or internalization by the host cell.
