Adhesion receptors of the immune system

Nature. 1990 Aug 2;346(6283):425-34. doi: 10.1038/346425a0.

Abstract

The adhesive interactions of cells with other cells and with the extracellular matrix are crucial to all developmental processes, but have a central role in the functions of the immune system throughout life. Three families of cell-surface molecules regulate the migration of lymphocytes and the interactions of activated cells during immune responses.
