We have previously reported the sequence of the integrin alpha 9 subunit, a partner of the
beta 1 subunit that is expressed in basal keratinocytes, hepatocytes, airway epithelial cells,
and smooth and skeletal muscle. In the present study, we have stably expressed alpha 9
beta 1 on the surface of the human embryonic kidney cell line 293 and the human colon
carcinoma cell line SW480 and used these transfected cells lines to identify ligand (s) for this
integrin. Transfected cells did not appear to utilize alpha 9 beta 1 for attachment to the …
