we now identify the integrin vla-4 as a receptor for vcam-1 because vla-4 surface expression on k-562 cells ( following transfection of the vla alpha 4 subunit cdna ) resulted in specific cell adhesion to vcam-1 , and anti-vla-4 antibodies completely inhibited vcam-1-dependent cell-cell attachment .
