title: [Participation of the adhesion molecules in the development of inflammatory response].
abstract: The authors present a review of adhesion molecules involved in inflammatory response. The recent description of adhesion molecules expressed on circulating leukocytes and endothelial cells, have been elucidated the leukocyte-endothelial interactions, essential for transmigration of leukocytes into tissues. It also indicates how anti-inflammatory drugs affect adhesion molecules. Finally, anti-adhesion therapies are discussed as new strategies for the treatment of inflammatory diseases.
