Intercellularadhesion molecules 1 (ICAM-1) and vascular cell adhesion molecule 1 (VCAM-1) play important roles in the inflammatory process of cerebral ischemic injury.
Intercellularadhesionmolecule-1 (ICAM-1), a representative of adhesion molecules, joins in cell mediated immunoreaction through promoting adhesion between immune cells and target cells.
Objective: To investigate the changes of vascular celladhesionmolecule-l (VCAM-1) and intercellular adhesion molecule-l (ICAM-1) in patients with congestive heart failure (CHF).
