CD44, but not l-selectin, is critically involved in leucocyte migration into the skin in a murine model of allergic dermatitis.

Abstract excerpt

CD44 and l-selectin (CD62L) are major adhesion receptors that mediate leucocyte recruitment at inflammatory sites and lymph nodes, by supporting cell rolling under blood flow. Both CD44 and CD62L have been implicated in inflammatory skin disorders, but their specific involvement in an immediate-type allergic reaction remains uncertain. We used mice deficient in CD44 or CED62L or both in order to determine whether...
