[Adhesion molecular and markers on endothelial cells].
Leukocyte endothelial cell interactions are mediated by adhesion molecules expressed on leukocytes and endothelial cells, resulting in extravasation of leukocytes and activation of the immune system. On the basis of the experiment using a murine endothelial cell line, F-2, the authors will review two issues; 1) the adhesion systems applied for endothelial cells, neutrophils and lymphocytes, and 2) production of cytokines in endothelial cells.
