Abstract
Considerable evidence implicates gp90MEL as a lymphocyte homing receptor mediating lymphocyte attachment to high endothelial venules of lymph nodes in mouse. The protein appears to function as a calcium-dependent, lectin-like receptor as inferred primarily by the ability of specific carbohydrates to block its function and by the presence of a calcium-type lectin domain in its primary sequence. An ELISA assay is described which provides the first demonstration that the isolated protein has lectin activity and allows a further definition of its carbohydrate specificity. In addition to the monosaccharides mannose-6-phosphate and fructose-1-phosphate, ligand activity is shown for the sulfated glycolipid, sulfatide, and for two sulfated fucose-containing polysaccharides (fucoidin and egg jelly coat) from nonmammalian sources.

Abstract
Using monoclonal antibodies and in situ immunohistochemistry, we studied the distribution of "accessory" adhesion molecules (i.e., intercellular adhesion molecule-1 and leukocyte function-associated antigen-3) in 114 liver biopsy specimens with various inflammatory liver diseases and in 12 control liver biopsy samples without inflammation. The distribution of these adhesion molecules was compared with the presence on inflammatory cells of their natural ligands, lymphocyte function-associated antigen-1 and cluster of differentiation antigen-2, respectively. In normal liver, intercellular adhesion molecule-1 and leukocyte function-associated antigen-3 reacted weakly with sinusoidal lining cells, portal vessel endothelium and scattered mononuclear inflammatory cells, whereas hepatocytes were constantly negative. In contrast, all 114 biopsy samples of acute or chronic liver diseases revealed strong expression of intercellular adhesion molecule-1 and leukocyte function-associated antigen-3 on sinusoidal lining cells and on hepatocytes in areas of inflammation. Hepatocellular membrane positivity resulted in a "honeycomb pattern" of staining , which was panacinar in acute hepatitis and focal in chronic persistent or aggressive hepatitis. In various other chronic liver diseases, a multifocal periportal and intraacinar honeycomb pattern was detected. In all cases, a close topographical correlation was found between hepatocellular expression of intercellular adhesion molecule-1 and leukocyte function-associated antigen-3 on one hand and the presence of inflammatory cells expressing lymphocyte function-associated antigen-1 and cluster of differentiation antigen-2 on the other.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
The influence of recirculating lymphocytes on the function and morphology of high endothelial venules (HEV) has been studied. Mice were depleted of lymphocytes by lethal (1200 cGy) total body irradiation; subsequently, the HEV in mesenteric and cervical lymph nodes were studied up to 7 days after irradiation for: 1) capacity to bind lymphocytes by using the in vitro HEV-binding assay, 2) for morphological aspects such as ultrastructure and endothelial height, 3) for presence of RNA (pyroninophylia) and MECA-325 expression. Although, commencing 3 days after irradiation, lymphocyte depletion was intense and no extravasation of lymphocytes was observed; HEV were capable of binding lymphocytes at normal levels. Also the ratio of B/T cell binding to HEV was comparable to normal. MECA-325 expression, pyroninophilia, and ultrastructure of high endothelial cells were not affected by lymphocyte depletion. However, the average height of endothelial cells, which is a measurement related to cell volume, declined during lymphocyte depletion, stabilizing at about 70% of normal levels from day 4. After intravenous injection of viable lymph node cells, endothelial cell height rapidly increased within a few hours in conjunction with lymphocyte extravasation and homing into the nodes. Restoration of endothelial cell height was not observed after infusion of thymocytes, lethally irradiated lymph node cells or supernatants rich in cytokines. We conclude that recirculating lymphocytes in blood and lymphoid tissues are not involved in controlling high endothelial cell activity including the specific function in lymphocyte extravasation. However, recirculating/extravasating lymphocytes contribute to the development of endothelial cell height. The significance of non-lymphoid (radioresistant) cells in the control of characteristic high endothelial function is suggested.

Abstract
The recirculation of lymphocytes from blood to lymph and back to blood is necessary for the proper functioning of the immune system as it facilitates interactions between antigen-reactive clones of lymphocytes and antigen-presenting cells. The first step in the emigration of a blood-borne lymphocyte into either a secondary lymphoid organ or an inflammatory lesion is its adherence to vascular endothelial cells (EC) lining unique post-capillary venules known as high endothelial venules (HEV). Several groups have recently cloned and sequenced genes which may encode organ-specific lymphocyte receptors for the EC of such HEV. The extracellular portion of the putative murine lymphocyte homing receptor for peripheral lymph node HEV is composed of an N-terminal lectin-like domain, followed by an epidermal growth factor-like domain, and then two identical repeating domains which are homologous to a number of complement-binding proteins. A hydrophobic transmembrane domain and a cytoplasmic tail complete the structure. A very similar gene structure has been reported for a cytokine-inducible EC surface protein which is involved in neutrophil-EC adhesion in vitro. In marked contrast, the gene for a putative human lymphocyte homing receptor appears to belong to a gene family which encodes cell-surface molecules with receptor activity for extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins. Similarly, the cell-surface molecule which appears to be the murine lymphocyte receptor for Peyer's patch HEV is homologous, if not identical, to the human VLA-4 molecule, another receptor with binding activity for an ECM protein. It has also been demonstrated that lymphocyte function-associated antigen 1 (LFA-1) acts in a non-organ-specific manner to mediate lymphocyte-EC adhesion. Finally, other non-organ-specific lymphocyte adhesion molecules for EC may include CD4 and CD8 (which bind to class II and class I MHC antigens, respectively), and CD2 (which binds to LFA-3).

Abstract
Lymphocytes must circulate from blood into lymphoid tissues and sites of infection and inflammation to function efficiently in vivo. This process of "homing" is in part directed by the expression of the leukocyte adhesion molecule (LAM-1, also known as TQ1 and Leu-8) in humans and the homologous MEL-14 antigen in mice. In this report, we demonstrate that the LAM-1 molecule is a 74-kDa protein and that only half of the CD4+ T cells in humans which have a memory phenotype (CD45RA -CD29hi) express the LAM-1 molecule. Functionally, these two phenotypically distinct subpopulations of memory cells were quite different. The LAM-1+ memory cells proliferated better to recall antigen and induced three to seven times higher levels of B cell immunoglobulin secretion than their LAM-1- counterparts. Thus, antigen-specific memory T cells within the helper lineage express the homing receptor appropriate for regulating their migration to secondary lymphoid tissues and sites of inflammation.

Abstract
These studies test the hypothesis that vascular endothelia in sponge allografts may develop a function and phenotype resembling the high endothelial venules (HEV) in lymph nodes, thus facilitating the lymphocytic infiltration that is characteristic of allograft rejection. Using limiting dilution analysis to quantitate helper-T-cell accumulation at graft sites, immunohistologic analysis of graft reactivity with the HEV-specific monoclonal antibody MECA 325, and ex vivo lymphocyte-endothelial adhesion assays with graft tissues, we obtained evidence to suggest that HEV-like endothelia may develop at a graft site but that the process whereby lymphocytes accumulate at a graft site is more complex than was initially expected.

Abstract
Injection of phytohemagglutinin induces dose-dependent acute delayed-type hypersensitivity-like reactions in young pig skin which attract large numbers of labeled peripheral blood lymphocytes and lymphoblasts but not red cells. Similar reactions are induced in the gut wall, joints, and draining lymph nodes, and also in the skin of sheep and cattle, and by concanavalin A. Labeled peripheral blood lymphocyte entry starts within 2 h, is maximal at 6-18 h and is effectively over by 48 h and, both early and late, is markedly inhibited in a selective way by trypsinization, like high endothelium venule-mediated entry to lymphoid tissues. Electron microscopy showed development of high endothelium venule-like blood vessels with intramural lymphoid cells in mononuclear infiltrates. Inductive processes in this model short-term peripheral defense mechanism are being investigated.

Abstract
This review summarizes our recent work on expression and function of 4 integrins on resting human CD4+ T cells. Three themes are highlighted: multiplicity of molecular pathways of adhesion, regulation of adhesion, and costimulation by adhesion molecules. Four distinct receptor/ligand interactions have been elucidated: LFA-1/ICAM-1, VLA-5/fibronection, VLA-4/fibronectin, and VLA-6/laminin. Our studies indicate fundamental similarities in function and regulation of these four receptor/ligand interactions: 1) acute activation of the T cell (by CD3/TCR crosslinking or by PMA) induces rapid but transient integrin binding function; and 2) higher expression of each integrin on memory T cells compared to naive T cells results in greater binding of memory cells to each ligand. The identification of T-cell integrins (VLA-4, VLA-5, VLA-6) which interact with ECM components directs attention to the potential importance of T-cell interactions with ECM components which either may be immobilized in ECM or which may act as molecular bridges between cells. The existence of multiple adhesion pathways, of multiple ligands for a single receptor (such as LFA-1/ICAM-1 and LFA-1/ICAM-2), multiple receptors for a single ligand (such as VLA-4/FN and VLA-5/FN), and regulation of ligand expression (ICAM-1) provides opportunities for co-operativity, rebundancy and diversity which the T cell utilizes to exquisitely regulate its adhesive interactions. The thesis that adhesion molecules can be multifunctional receptors that also influence signalling is demonstrated by our findings that each of these integrin receptor/ligand interactions is capable of providing a potent costimulatory signal to CD3-mediated T-cell activation. The importance of interactions of T-cell integrins with their cell surface and ECM ligands is discussed with respect to T-cell migration, differentiation and recognition. Analysis of the precise mechanisms by which T cells regulate and exploit these multiple receptor/ligand interactions and the resulting functional consequences of those interactions will be exciting areas of future research.

Abstract
A set of monoclonal antibodies has been raised to cell surface markers which are either hyperexpressed, or exclusive to activated murine lymphocytes. One antigen is present on all B cells of the Ly1 lineage and defines a novel subpopulation of classical B cells, most of which are activated B cells. In Western blots, this antigen appears as a single glycoprotein of 95 kDa molecular weight but of greater interest, is its expression at high levels on all mature peripheral T cells but on only 30% of thymocytes. This marker is expressed at high levels on all CD4 and CD8 thymocytes, most double-negative (CD4-CD8-) thymocytes, and at low levels on double-positive (CD4+CD8+) thymocytes. It may prove useful as a developmental marker for subdividing the double-positive (CD4+CD8+) and double negative (CD4-CD8-) thymocyte populations. Taken together these results indicate that mab 3.17 recognises a novel lymphocyte antigen expressed on subsets of T and B cells, which is hyperexpressed on lymphocyte activation.

Abstract
Cytokine-activated human endothelial cells express vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1), which binds lymphocytes. We now identify the integrin VLA-4 as a receptor for VCAM-1 because VLA-4 surface expression on K-562 cells (following transfection of the VLA alpha 4 subunit cDNA) resulted in specific cell adhesion to VCAM-1, and anti-VLA-4 antibodies completely inhibited VCAM-1-dependent cell-cell attachment. In addition, VLA-4 expression allowed K-562 cells to attach to the heparin II binding region (FN-40) of fibronectin. However, VLA-4/VCAM-1 and VLA-4/FN-40 interactions are readily distinguishable: only the former was inhibited by the anti-VLA-4 monoclonal antibody HP1/3, and only the latter was inhibited by soluble FN-40. The VCAM-1/VLA-4 ligand-receptor pair may play a major role in the recruitment of mononuclear leukocytes to inflammatory sites in vivo.

Abstract
During recirculation, lymphocytes leave the peculiar structurally inverted lymph nodes (LN) of pigs via blood vessels instead of via efferent lymphatics, as in sheep and other mammals. This functional difference provided an opportunity to show the existence of signals directing lymphocyte exit from LN. The recirculation of pig peripheral blood lymphocytes was traced through fetal sheep LN and of sheep PBL into and out of unsuckled newborn piglet LN, using the lack of natural antibody or natural killer cell function in these immunologically mature young to compare foreign and homologous lymphocyte behavior. In spite of some 50 million years of evolutionary divergence, the detailed kinetics and route of recirculation of the xenogeneic PBL were essentially the same as those of the host species. Thus determinants guiding the anomalous blood exit from pig LN must involve conserved "exit" signals in a new site and not changes in pig lymphocyte homing receptors.

Abstract
Neuropeptides and neurohormones (neurotransmitters) have been shown to modulate immune responses in vitro and in vivo. Since reproduction and lactation are regulated by neurohormones, we investigated whether neurohormones could enhance anti-rotavirus immunity in milk. Rotavirus-free mice were immunized orally with killed bovine rotavirus (BRV) and bred 6 weeks post-immunization. Post-whelping, each group of dams (ten mice/group) was given a single injection of prolactin (PRL), estrogen, PRL and estrogen or testosterone. The effects of neuropeptides, substance P (SP) and somatostatin (SS) on serum and lactogenic anti-rotavirus humoral immune responses were also investigated. The results revealed that in the groups given PRL or estrogen, anti-rotavirus antibody titers in milk and serum were enhanced. In contrast, testosterone had a negative effect on antibody titers. The administration of neuropeptide SP resulted in some enhancement of the lactogenic anti-rotavirus antibody titer at day 9 post-whelping whereas the opposite effect was observed following administration of SS. Prolactin given at 100 micrograms/mouse, on the day after whelping, gave optimum milk and serum antibody responses. Neurotransmitters potentiated immune responses to the weaker immunogenic proteins, VP4 and VP7 as well as to the strongly immunogenic VP6. In order to verify that the enhancement of anti-rotavirus antibody production was due to PRL and not to other factor(s), bromocriptine (BCR), a selective PRL inhibitor, was used as a control. Mice given BCR exhibited a drastic reduction in anti-rotavirus antibody in serum and milk. The role of neurotransmitters in the modulation of the lactogenic immune response and its significance in protection of neonates from enteric infections is discussed.

Abstract
Endothelium constitutes a highly specialized organ that lines the vascular system and lymphatic channels. This organ is a complex network of arteries, veins, and microvessels that differ in size, structure, and function. The unique and strategic location imposes functional demands on the endothelium that are far greater than just being a passive barrier. Endothelial cells have the ability to differentiate both in structure and function in response to the needs of diverse tissue environments, making this organ extremely heterogeneous. Although vascular endothelial cells share certain common properties, they differ in regard to structure, antigenic and cell surface determinants, adhesion molecules, and metabolic function. The unique cell surface profiles expressed by endothelial cells in different tissue locations can be recognized by specific populations of circulating leukocytes or tumor cells, which contribute to their arrest and invasion patterns. This article attempts to review our current understanding of endothelial cell heterogeneity and its significance to patterns of leukocyte and tumor cell trafficking.

Abstract
The relationship of angiogenesis, the growth of new blood vessels, to the process of tumour metastasis is examined. While the occurrence of angiogenesis generally is a necessary prerequisite for the formation of secondary tumours its presence is not a guarantee that cancer dissemination will occur. Novel approaches to antimetastatic therapy, using the newly formed vascular bed of tumours as the target, have produced successful results in experimental animals though such approaches have yet to be undertaken in the clinic.

Abstract
No process is more central to T-lymphocyte function than cell-cell adhesion, yet it is only recently that interest in lymphocyte adhesion has burgeoned. Neglect of adhesion is particularly surprising since immunologists are surrounded by a veritable sea of adhesive interactions of lymphocytic cells: transformed lymphocytes grow in aggregates, stimulated lymphocytes aggregate and T cells conjugate with their targets. In retrospect, it is obvious that all lymphocyte adhesion (both antigen-specific and seemingly non-specific adhesive interactions) has to be based on specific receptor-ligand interactions. In this review Malegapuru Makgoba, Martin Sanders and Stephen Shaw focus primarily on the two molecular pathways of lymphocyte adhesion that have been shown to play a critical role in facilitation of antigen-specific recognition, namely CD2 and its ligand, lymphocyte function associated antigen-3 (LFA-3), and LFA-1 and its ligand, intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1). A variety of excellent recent reviews have dealt with this and related aspects of T-cell adhesion. Of particular interest is the review that follows in this issue: it deals with the CD44 molecule which has also been implicated in both adhesion and activation of T cells.

Abstract
The study of cell surface molecules that are involved in interactions between immune and non-hematopoietic cells in various microenvironments is currently an area of great interest. One molecule that appears to be involved in multiple steps of normal immune cell function is now called CD44 and has been known previously as Pgp-1, In(Lu)-related p80, Hermes, ECM-III and HUTCH-I. Within the past year, the co-identity of all of these independently discovered molecules has become apparent, and the role of the CD44 molecule in T-cell activation has been discovered. In this review, Barton Haynes and his colleagues bring together numerous divergent lines of investigation on the CD44 molecule, review the many functional roles attributed to it, and present a unifying view of how, with numerous ligands, it may participate in several areas of normal immune cell function.

Abstract
Lymphocyte migration from the blood into most secondary lymphoid organs is initiated by a highly selective adhesive interaction with the endothelium of specialized blood vessels known as high endothelial venules (HEV). The propensity of lymphocytes to migrate to particular lymphoid organs is known as lymphocyte homing, and the receptors on lymphocytes that dictate interactions with HEV at particular anatomical sites are designated "homing receptors". Based upon antibody blockade experiments and cell-type distribution studies, a prominent candidate for the peripheral lymph node homing receptor in mouse is the approximately 90-kD cell surface glycoprotein (gp90MEL) recognized by the monoclonal antibody MEL-14. Previous work, including sequencing of a cDNA encoding for this molecule, supports the possibility that gp90MEL is a calcium-dependent lectin-like receptor. Here, we show that immunoaffinity-purified gp90MEL interacts in a sugar-inhibitable manner with sites on peripheral lymph node HEV and prevents attachment of lymphocytes. Lymphocyte attachment to HEV in Peyer's patches, a gut-associated lymphoid organ, is not affected by gp90MEL. The results demonstrate that gp90MEL, as a lectin-like receptor, directly bridges lymphocytes to the endothelium.

Abstract
This study documents that a calcium-dependent phosphomanosyl-binding site on human lymphoid malignancies mediates attachment to the peripheral node high endothelial venule (PNHEV). The phorbol ester PMA coordinately upregulates lectin activity and binding to the PNHEV in the human T-lymphoblastic cell line Jurkat but not in the less phenotypically mature lines HSB2, Molt4, CEM, and HPB-ALL. In contrast, expression of CD18, CD2, and several common epitopes of the putative adhesion receptor gp90Hermes (CD44) did not correlate with attachment to PNHEV in this series of cell lines. Insensitivity to inhibition by the CD18 MAb TS 1.18, temperature and divalent cation requirements further distinguish the Jurkat-PNHEV adhesive interaction from CD11a/18- and CD2-mediated adhesion. The PMA-induced phenotypic changes in the Jurkat line parallel late thymocyte differentiation as well as lymphocyte activation, suggesting that expression of the endothelial-binding lectin may be linked to one or both of these processes. The lectin-like activity on Jurkat cells is functionally indistinguishable from those previously linked to PNHEV recognition in normal human lymphocytes, normal rat lymphocytes and both normal and malignant murine lymphoid cells. In the mouse, this activity is either contained in or functionally linked to a member of the LEC-CAM family gp90Mel14, suggesting that Jurkat cells express the human homologue of the murine nodal homing receptor. Thus cultured T lymphoblastic malignancies express a variety of potential endothelial adhesion molecules but use primarily a highly conserved surface lectin to interact with PNHEV.

Abstract
A 90-kD lymphocyte surface glycoprotein, defined by monoclonal antibodies of the Hermes series, is involved in lymphocyte recognition of high endothelial venules (HEV). Lymphocyte gp90Hermes binds in a saturable, reversible fashion to the mucosal vascular addressin (MAd), a tissue-specific endothelial cell adhesion molecule for lymphocytes. We and others have recently shown that the Hermes antigen is identical to or includes CD44 (In[Lu]-related p80), human Pgp-1, and extracellular matrix receptor III-molecules reportedly expressed on diverse cell types. Here, we examine the relationship between lymphoid and nonlymphoid Hermes antigens using serologic, biochemical, and, most importantly, functional assays. Consistent with studies using mAbs to CD44 or Pgp-1, mAbs against five different epitopes on lymphocyte gp90Hermes reacted with a wide variety of nonhematolymphoid cells in diverse normal human tissues, including many types of epithelium, mesenchymal elements such as fibroblasts and smooth muscle, and a subset of glia in the central nervous system. To ask whether these non-lymphoid molecules might also be functionally homologous to lymphocyte homing receptors, we assessed their ability to interact with purified MAd using fluorescence energy transfer techniques. The Hermes antigen isolated from both glial cells and fibroblasts--which express a predominant 90-kD form similar in relative molecular mass, isoelectric point, and protease sensitivity to lymphocyte gp90Hermes--was able to bind purified MAd. In contrast, a 140-160-kD form of the Hermes antigen isolated from squamous epithelial cells lacked this capability. Like lymphocyte binding to mucosal HEV, the interaction between glial gp90Hermes and MAd is inhibited by mAb Hermes-3, but not Hermes-1, suggesting that similar molecular domains are involved in the two binding events. The observation that the Hermes/CD44 molecules derived from several nonlymphoid cell types display binding domains homologous to those of lymphocyte homing receptors suggests that these glycoproteins represent a novel type of cell adhesion/recognition molecule (H-CAM) potentially mediating cell-cell or cell-matrix interactions in multiple tissues.

Abstract
Two newly characterized structural families of adhesion molecules, in concert with known members of the integrin and immunoglobulin supergene families, mediate the interaction of circulating lymphoid cells with the vessel wall. The Hermes/CD44 antigen family participates in attachment to multiple vascular beds and consists of a common polypeptide core showing amino-terminal homology to cartilage link proteins. In contrast, the node-specific homing receptor Mel-14 consists of substructures homologous to calcium-dependent lectins, EGF, and complement binding proteins. The sequence of Mel-14 provides structural support for the hypothesis that lectin-carbohydrate interactions mediate physiologically significant adhesion events in the course of lymphocyte recirculation. The discovery of a similar structure in ELAM-1 and GMP-140 extends the reach of this family to other leukocyte and platelet interactions with the vessel wall.

Abstract
Lymphocyte interactions with high endothelial venules (HEV) during extravasation into lymphoid tissues involve an 85-95 kd class of lymphocyte surface glycoprotein(s), gp90Hermes (CD44). We report here the cloning of cDNA for gp90Hermes expressed in a mucosal HEV-binding B lymphoblastoid cell line, KCA. Northern hybridization revealed the presence of three invariant RNA bands at 1.5, 2.2, and 4.5 kb in mucosal HEV-, lymph node HEV-, or dual-binding cells. The deduced amino acid sequence predicts a mature protein with a C-terminal cytoplasmic tail, a hydrophobic transmembrane domain of 23 amino acids, and an N-terminal extracellular region of 248 amino acids. A proximal extracellular domain is the probable region of O-glycosylation and chondroitin sulfate linkage and displays at least two of the three immunodominant epitope clusters of native gp90Hermes. A distal region contains the majority of potential N-glycosylation sites and cysteines, and exhibits a striking homology to tandemly repeated domains of the cartilage link and proteoglycan core proteins. No significant similarities were found to the immunoglobulin, integrin, or cadherin gene families. Thus gp90Hermes represents a novel class of integral membrane protein involved in lymphocyte-endothelial cell interactions and lymphocyte homing.
