Identification of neutrophil β2-integrin LFA-1 as a potential mechanistic biomarker in ANCA-associated vasculitis via microarray and validation analyses

Abstract Background Leukocyte activation by anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA) and the subsequent leukocyte–endothelium interaction play a key role in the development of endothelial damage in ANCA-associated vasculitis (AAV). In contrast to that of leukocyte activation, the exact role of th...
