CD44 and Other Cell Interaction Molecules Contributing to B Lymphopoiesis

摘要: The term “adhesion” seems much too narrow to describe the multifunctional molecules on which this book is based. In addition mediating physical interactions, as name suggests, they serve receptors for cell-cell communication and in binding of cells extracellular matrix. distinction between cell adhesion growth factor has become blurred by reports that latter can immobilize cells. Moreover, same, or closely related, different specialized functions multiple tissues. Information gradually accumulating about interaction expressed lymphohematopoietic tissues date none have been convincingly described are restricted those sites. Our experience with B lymphocyte precursors suggests critical formation export blood from bone marrow related responsible their recruitment bloodstream migration within peripheral Like other molecules, very interesting property having functional states, actively regulated express them. emphasis review will be studies implicated four adhesion/ lymphopoiesis.
