[en] Background: Lymphocyte function-associated antigen-1 (LFA-1, CD11a/CD18, alpha L beta 2) is
required for many cellular adhesive interactions during the immune response.
Results: The Capra hircus CD11a-encoding cDNA was sequenced and compared with its human,
murine, rat, bovine and ovine counterparts. Despite some focal differences, it shares all the main
characteristics of its known mammalian homologues.
Conclusion: Therefore, along with the caprine CD18-encoding cDNA, which has been available
for a few months, the sequence data revealed here will allow the Capra hircus LFA-1 expression in vitro as a tool to explore the specificities of inflammation in the caprine species.
