Homing receptors and addressins.
Molecular cloning of several homing receptors and their placement within unique families of adhesion receptors over the past 2 years will now permit detailed analyses of structure, function and regulation. Novel tools have significantly contributed to the characterization of carbohydrates as essential parts of the recognition site in addressins whose molecular structures remain to be elucidated.
