Direct measurements of heterotypic adhesion between the cell surface proteins CD2 and CD48.

Direct force measurements were used to investigate the molecular mechanism of heterophilic adhesion between the murine T-cell adhesion glycoprotein CD2 and its ligand CD48. From the distance dependence of the protein-protein interaction potential, we demonstrate directly that the full-length extrace...
