Area of Science:

  • Immunology
  • Cell Biology
  • Evolutionary Biology

Context:

  • Phagocytosis represents an ancient defense mechanism for eliminating foreign materials.
  • The migration of professional phagocytic cells to sites of injury is fundamental to host defense.

Purpose:

  • To describe the families of adhesion molecules involved in phagocytic cell migration.
  • To elucidate the contribution of these adhesion molecules to the host defense process.

Summary:

  • Phagocytosis is an evolutionarily conserved defense strategy.
  • Professional phagocytic cell migration to lesions is a basic host defense aspect.
  • The article reviews various adhesion molecule families and their roles in this migration.

Impact:

  • Provides a foundational understanding of cellular migration in immune responses.
  • Highlights the importance of adhesion molecules in innate immunity.
  • Offers insights into the evolutionary basis of host defense mechanisms.
