    Study Notes

    Endothelial-Leukocyte Adhesion Molecules

    • P-selectin: Bound to Sialyl-Lewis X-modified proteins, involved in rolling of neutrophils, monocytes, and T lymphocytes.

    • E-selectin: Bound to Sialyl-Lewis X-modified proteins, involved in rolling and adhesion of neutrophils, monocytes, and T lymphocytes.

    • GlyCam-1, CD34: Bound to L-selectin, involved in rolling of neutrophils and monocytes.

    • ICAM-1 (immunoglobulin family): Bound to CD11/CD18 (β2) integrins (LFA-1, Mac-1), involved in adhesion, arrest, and transmigration of neutrophils, monocytes, and lymphocytes.

    • VCAM-1 (immunoglobulin family): Bound to VLA-4 (β1) integrin, involved in adhesion of eosinophils, monocytes, and lymphocytes.

    • CD31 (PECAM): Involved in leukocyte migration through endothelium.

    • L-selectin: Expressed weakly on neutrophils, plays a role in binding circulating T-lymphocytes to high endothelial venules in lymph nodes and mucosal lymphoid tissues, facilitating lymphocyte "homing" to these tissues.
