ABSTRACT:
The present invention is directed to a method for isolating a novel receptor for .alpha.4 integrins such as VLA-4, that is distinct from VCAM-1 and from fibronectin. Isolated nucleic acids encoding the receptor and antibodies to the receptor are also provided. The invention is also directed to pharmaceutical compositions, and methods of treating disorders involving an undesirable inflammatory or immune response by administering the VLA-4 receptor of the invention.
