1. VLA 1 and VLA 2 were originally defined as antigens appearing on the surfaces of T lymphocytes 2-4 weeks after in vitro activation, they are now know to be part of the _ integrin family. Additional members of the subset are now known (VLA 3, VLA 4, VLA 5 and VLA 6), the _ subunits all being identical.
