Abstract
Lymphocyte function-associated antigen-1 (LFA-1, CD11a/CD18, αLβ2) actively contributes to the molecular interactions responsible for normal functions of the immune system but is also associated to several diseases from various etiology (genetic, bacterial, viral, neoplastic, allergic, and autoimmune). In this way, the interaction between lymphocyte function-associated antigen-1 and its major ligand intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1 or CD54) has been extensively studied, leading to the development of therapeutic antibodies, peptides, and small inhibitory molecules.
