Lymphocyte Migration: A new spin on lymphocyte homing
نویسنده
چکیده
New evidence confirms the multi-step model for leukocyte migration through endothelia, but with a twist. The selectins are not always required, and some lymphocyte subsets rely heavily on integrins for their migration to tissues.

Lymphoma dissemination: the other face of lymphocyte homing.
The orchestration of systemic immune responses is critically dependent on coordinated lymphocyte migration and recirculation. This "homing" guides lymphocytes to the microenvironments that control their differentiation and survival, disperses the immunologic repertoire, and targets effector lymphocytes to sites of antigenic insult. Lymphocyte homing is a multistep process that requires chemotax...
متن کاملHIV-1 Nef interferes with T-lymphocyte circulation through confined environments in vivo.
HIV-1 negative factor (Nef) elevates virus replication and contributes to immune evasion in vivo. As one of its established in vitro activities, Nef interferes with T-lymphocyte chemotaxis by reducing host cell actin dynamics. To explore Nef's influence on in vivo recirculation of T lymphocytes, we assessed lymph-node homing of Nef-expressing primary murine lymphocytes and found a drastic impai...
متن کاملA Series of Discrete Repertoire Models Inspired by Lymphocyte Migration
White blood cells (lymphocytes) are critical to the recognition and response of the acquired immune system. These cells are mobile, migrating from primary lymphoid tissues, recirculating in the blood stream, trafficking though tissues of the body, and homing in to sites of infection and inflammation. Given an understanding of lymphocyte migration in the biological system, three areas of foundat...
متن کاملRole of high endothelial venule-expressed heparan sulfate in chemokine presentation and lymphocyte homing.
Lymphocyte homing to peripheral lymph nodes (PLNs) is mediated by multistep interactions between lymphocytes and high endothelial venules (HEVs). Heparan sulfate (HS) has been implicated in the presentation of chemokines on the surface of HEVs during this process. However, it remains unclear whether this cell surface presentation is a prerequisite for lymphocyte homing. In this study, we genera...
متن کاملLymphocyte migration into atherosclerotic plaque.
Adaptive immunity is involved in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis, but the recruitment of T and B lymphocytes to atherosclerotic lesions is not as well studied as that of monocytes. In this review, we summarize the current understanding of the role of lymphocyte subsets in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis and discuss chemokines and chemokine receptors involved in lymphocyte homing to athe...
