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.
