Abstract excerpt
The selective interaction of trafficking lymphocytes with glandular epithelial cells is thought to link the lacrimal gland (LG) to the mucosal immune network. An in vitro binding assay was used to determine the phenotype of adherent cell populations and to study the involvement of lymphocyte adhesion molecules in the adherence process. Enriched B cell populations showed greater binding to LG epithelium than did...
