Klaus Ley Editor 2007 Endothelial and leukocyte adhesion molecules guide the trafficking of all leukocytes to sites of inflammation, of lymphocytes to primary, secondary and tertiary lymphatic organs, and of monocytes to almost all tissues of the body where they become macrophages and dendritric cells. Some of these same adhesion molecules are also involved in leukocyte and endothelial cell […]
