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.Mesh:
