During inflammation, T lymphocytes migrate out of the blood across the vascular endothelium in a multistep process. The receptors mediating T cell adhesion to endothelium are well characterized; however, the molecules involved in T cell transendothelial migration (TEM) subsequent to lymphocyte adhesion to the endothelium are less clear. To identify receptors mediating TEM, mAbs were produced ag...
