Laminin isoform composition (laminins 411 and 511) of endothelial basement membranes defines sites of leukocyte extravasation. Laminins can directly affect immune cell migration but can also effect the expression (CD99L2) and localization of endothelial junctional molecules (VE-cadherin) involved in paracellular migration. Signal cascades induced by laminins 411 and 511 in different immune cell populations will be studied and how this affects their migratory behaviours, and molecular mechanisms of laminin 511 affects on endothelial adhesion molecule expression and/or function.
