Soluble adhesion molecules in sera of patients with leprosy: levels of soluble intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (sICAM-1) rapidly decrease during multi-drug therapy

Circulating soluble adhesion molecules in patients with giant cell arteritis. Correlation between soluble intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (sICAM-1) concentrations and disease activity.

OBJECTIVE To evaluate whether changes in concentrations of circulating adhesion molecules are related to disease activity in patients with giant cell arteritis (GCA). METHODS A sandwich ELISA was used to measure soluble intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (sICAM-1), sICAM-3, vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (sVCAM-1), E-selectin (sE-selectin), and L-selectin (sL-selectin) in serum and plasma s...

the effect of high interval intensity training on plassma soluble intercellular adhesion molecule -1 (sicam-1) in sedentary obese male.

obesity is known to increase the risk for cardiovascular diseases. serum levels of cellular adhesion molecules are reported to be indices of arthrosclerosis. so each intervention that has benefit effects on them is very important for general health. the purpose of this study was to determine the effect of high interval intensity training programs on icam-1. 18 sedentary obese males with mean ±s...

Soluble Intracellular Adhesion Molecule-1 in the Serum of Colon and Gastric Cancer Patients

Soluble Intercellular Adhesion Molecule

Previous studies have suggested that intercellular ad¬ hesion molecule 1 (ICAM-1, CD54) may be involved in the pathogenesis ofasthma. In addition, a soluble form of ICAM-1 (sICAM-1) has been detected in increased concentrations in the sera of patients with certain in¬ flammatory conditions. To determine whether bron¬ chial asthma is associated with increased levels of sICAM-1 in serum and to as...

Molecular comparison of soluble intercellular adhesion molecule (sICAM)-1 and sICAM-3 binding to lymphocyte function-associated antigen-1.

The interactions of intercellular adhesion molecules-1 and -3 (ICAM-1 and ICAM-3) with lymphocyte function-associated antigen-1 (LFA-1) have been characterized and compared on the molecular and cellular level. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent-based molecular assays have been utilized to calculate the binding affinities of soluble ICAM-1 (sICAM-1) and soluble ICAM-3 (sICAM-3) for LFA-1. Consistent wi...
