  • Title: Antibody to integrin alpha 6 subunit specifically inhibits cell-binding to laminin fragment 8.
    Author: Aumailley M, Timpl R, Sonnenberg A.
    Journal: Exp Cell Res; 1990 May; 188(1):55-60. PubMed ID: 2139418.
    Abstract:
    A large number of cell lines which attach and spread on laminin show a comparable binding either to both laminin fragments P1 and E8 or exclusively to E8. Adhesion to fragment E8 was with one exception completely inhibited by a monoclonal antibody to the alpha 6 integrin subunit, indicating that VLA-6 or a related structure is the major cellular receptor for laminin. It is not involved in fragment P1 adhesion. Synthetic peptides possessing RGD or YIGSR sequences were without inhibitory activity for alpha 6-mediated adhesion to fragment E8.
