Scope note

  • Cell surface glycoproteins on lymphocytes and other leukocytes that mediate adhesion to specialized blood vessels called high endothelial venules. Several different classes of lymphocyte homing receptors have been identified, and they appear to target different surface molecules (addressins) on high endothelial venules in different tissues. The adhesion plays a crucial role in the trafficking of lymphocytes.

History note

  • 1991; for ANTIGENS, CD44, CD44 ANTIGENS and PgP-1 ANTIGEN use RECEPTORS, LYMPHOCYTE HOMING 1991-93; ANTIGENS, CD44 was ANTIGEN, CD44 use RECEPTORS, LYMPHOCYTE HOMING 1991-92; CD44 ANTIGENS was CD44 ANTIGEN use RECEPTORS, LYMPHOCYTE HOMING 1991-92
