Excellent review article : Ley et al., Nature Immunology Reviews, 7:678, 2007 Video Acknowledgments to Dr. Tim Springer, Harvard University Homing of naïve/effector/memory cells Recruitment of phagocytic cells Leukocyte/Lymphocyte Trafficking Functions in Immune Response: Adhesion Molecules
Leukocyte Recirculation
IMMUNOSURVEILLANCE Critical for Effective Immune Responses Constant Process – required for rapidly controlling infections Leukocyte adhesion deficiencies – highlight the role of certain adhesion molecules in this process
The Big Picture Endothelial Cells Blood Flow --> PMN Rolling Activation Firm Adhesion Diapedesis
ADHESION MOLECULE FAMILIES (and related proteins) Selectins - Family of C-type Lectins Integrins - Family of Heterodimeric Receptors 2-integrins Cell Adhesion Molecules (CAMs) - Composed of Ig Domains Signaling Molecules (Receptors/Ligands) - Chemoattractant and Chemokine Receptors
Physical Factors Influencing Lymphocyte/Leukocyte Migration Blood Flow Physical Barriers Ability to Detect Infection

IMMUNOSURVEILLANCE Incomplete glycosylation of sLew x : no binding to selectins LAD II - Leukocyte Adhesion Deficiency Type 2
Step 2: Activation
Chemotactic Receptors & Ligands Step 2: Activation FMLP IL-1 C5a TNF- Infection 1. Activates both cell types – endothelial and leukocyte 2. Causes “inside-out signaling 3. Gradient-dependent migration of leukocytes
