The dissociation rate of theα5β1/CD40 L complex decreases first and then increases with wall shear stress,exhibiting a'Catch-slip bond'transformation of interaction betweenα5β1-CD40 L.This mechanical regulation mechanism exists in interaction of CD40 L not only toα5β1 at low affinity state but also to one at high affinity state.Our results should be useful in understanding the mechanical regulation mechanism of a5β1-CD40 L interaction-mediated cellular immune response and inflammatory processes.展开更多
