Abstract
Serp-1 is a secreted myxoma viral serine protease inhibitor (serpin) with proven, highly effective, anti-inflammatory defensive activity during host cell infection, as well as potent immunomodulatory activity in a wide range of animal disease models. Serp-1 binds urokinase-type plasminogen activator (uPA) and the tissue-type PA, plasmin, and factor Xa, requiring uPA receptor (uPAR) for anti-inflammatory activity. To define Serp-1-mediated effects on inflammatory cell activation, we examined the association of Serp-1 with monocytes and T cells, effects on cellular migration, and the role of uPAR-linked integrins and actin-binding proteins in Serp-1 cellular responses. Our results show that Serp-1 associates directly with activated monocytes and T lymphocytes, in part through interaction with uPAR (P
