Vascular Endothelial Junction-associated Molecule, a Novel Member of the Immunoglobulin Superfamily, Is Localized to Intercellular Boundaries of Endothelial Cells

Abstract excerpt

During the process of lymphocyte homing to secondary lymphoid organs, such as lymph nodes and tonsils, lymphocytes interact with and cross a specialized microvasculature, known as high endothelial venules. There is a great deal of information available about the first steps in the homing cascade, but molecular understanding of lymphocyte transmigration through the intercellular junctions of high endothelial...
