The emigration of lymphocytes from the bloodstream into tissues is
  VetBooks.ir  regulated by P-selectin (CD62P), L-selectin (CD62L), and E-selectin

               (CD62E). P- and E-selectins are found on vascular endothelial cells.
               When these cells are activated by inflammation, they express
               selectins that bind neutrophils, activated T cells, and monocytes. L-

               selectin binds lymphocytes to high endothelial venules in lymphoid
               organs (Chapter 12).



               Immunoglobulin Superfamily
               Some members of the immunoglobulin superfamily (IgSF) are

               lymphocyte adhesion molecules. For example, ICAM-1 (CD54)
               binds to the integrin, CD11a/CD18 (see Fig. 13.9). ICAM-1 is
               normally expressed on dendritic cells and B cells. Inflammation

               induces ICAM-1 expression on vascular endothelium and permits
               phagocytic cells to bind and move into inflamed tissues. ICAM-1 is
               also responsible for the migration of T cells into areas of
               inflammation (so-called delayed hypersensitivity reactions; Chapter
               33). Another IgSF adherence molecule is vascular cell adhesion

               molecule-1 (VCAM-1), or CD106. VCAM-1 is expressed on
               inflamed vascular endothelial cells. It binds the β -integrin,
                                                                                1
               CD49d/CD29, on lymphocytes and monocytes. (The essential
               antigen-binding receptors on lymphocytes are also members of the
               IgSF [see Fig. 14.1].)



               CD58 and CD2


               CD58 is the ligand for CD2. CD2 is found only on T cells, whereas
               CD58 is widely distributed on many cell types. When cytotoxic T
               cells encounter their target cells, the T cell binds them through CD2

               and CD58. It is likely that CD58 facilitates T cell binding to any cell
               undergoing surveillance (Chapter 18). CD58 is found on antigen-
               presenting cells such as dendritic cells and macrophages. When it
               binds to T cell CD2, CD58 enhances the recognition of antigen by
               the T cell and at the same time stimulates the antigen-presenting

               cell to secrete cytokines.
