Timothy Springer, with colleagues Michael L. Dustin and Charles A. Dinarello, identifies and characterizes adhesion molecules, a class of cell surface proteins that function in the interactions of immune cells with other cells, including antigen - specific recognition and cell trafficking: integrin LFA - 1 involved in cytoskeleton and
signaling, and intracellular adhesion molecules (ICAMs), which are binding partners (ligands)
for LFA - 1 and are increased in
inflammatory and autoimmune disease.
