Abstract:
Adhesion of lymphocytes to endothelium is vital to lymphocyte migration into lymphoid tissue and into inflammatory sites. In this review, Yoji Shimizu and colleagues identify the molecules that mediate lymphocyte-endothelial cell adhesion, describe the underlying principles of lymphocyte migration, and discuss a model of the sequence of events that allow a lymphocyte to successfully attach to endothelium and migrate into the surrounding tissue.
