Human CD99L2 Regulates a Unique Step in Leukocyte Transmigration

Abstract excerpt

CD99-like 2 (CD99L2 [L2]) is a highly glycosylated 52-kDa type 1 membrane protein that is important for leukocyte transendothelial migration (TEM) in mice. Inhibiting L2 using function-blocking Ab significantly reduces the recruitment of leukocytes to sites of inflammation in vivo. Similarly, L2 knockout mice have an inherent defect in leukocyte transmigration into sites of inflammation. However, the role of L2...
