ICAM-1 is not linked to liver allograft ischemia-reperfusion injury.

2004 JAN 19 - (NewsRx.com & NewsRx.net) -- Intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) is not linked to liver allograft ischemia-reperfusion injury.

"We studied and quantified the effect of ischemia-reperfusion on expression of ICAM-1 on sinusoidal endothelial cells and hepatocyte plasma membranes by means of confocal laser scanning microscopy imaging," scientists in France report.

"We found that ischemia induced an increase in ICAM-1 expression on sinusoidal endothelial cells and hepatocytes. After reperfusion, ICAM-1 expression was increased on sinusoidal endothelial cells, whereas it was unmodified on hepatocytes. On the other hand, ICAM-1 expression was …
