Calpain 4 is not necessary for LFA-1-mediated function in CD4+ T cells.
T cell activation and immune synapse formation require the appropriate activation and clustering of the integrin, LFA-1. Previous work has reported that the calpain family of calcium-dependent proteases are important regulators of integrin activation and modulate T cell adhesion and migration. Howev...
