Abstract

In earlier studies, we found that bovine gamma delta T cells avidly bind and roll under physiologic flow on E- and P-selection. In this study, we have extended our analyses of shear interactions of gamma delta T cells and have found that once gamma delta T cells permanently bind to endothelial cell monolayers they can support continued rolling of newly arriving gamma delta T cells. Anti-L-selection Abs blocked gamma delta T cell rolling on immobilized gamma delta T cells, and it was L-selection on the rolling cell, not the bound cell, that mediated the interaction. We propose, as we have for neutrophils, that lymphocyte/lymphocyte rolling represents a mechanism for amplification of the extravasation process. Having defined P-, E-, and L-selectin interactions with gamma delta T cells, we tested the susceptibility of the ligands for these selectins to treatment with O-glycoprotease, a compound that selectively cleaves mucin-like selectin ligands. O-glycoprotease treatment of gamma delta T cells blocked their interaction with P-selectin, but not E-selectin. Rolling of O-glycoprotease-treated cells on bound untreated gamma delta T cells was unaffected; however, O-glycoprotease treatment of the bound gamma delta T cells blocked thei...Continue Reading

Adhesion Molecules in Health and Disease

Cell adhesion molecules are a subset of cell adhesion proteins located on the cell surface involved in binding with other cells or with the extracellular matrix in the process called cell adhesion. In essence, cell adhesion molecules help cells stick to each other and to their surroundings. Cell adhesion is a crucial component in maintaining tissue structure and function.
