Pneumocystis carinii attachment increases expression of fibronectin-binding integrins on cultured lung cells.

Pneumocystis carinii is an extracellular pathogen which requires attachment to alveolar epithelial cells for growth and replication. Previous studies have demonstrated that the extracellular matrix protein fibronectin (Fn) facilitates attachment of P. carinii to lung cells. This study addresses the...
