Abstract

Mice were injected with a sublethal dose of cyclophosphamide (Cy) (300 mg/kg), and the appearance of the capacity of the regenerating spleen to form cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) in response against 2,4,6 trinitrophenyl-coupled syngeneic cells or against allogeneic cells was followed. It was found that 8 da after Cy injection, the spleen contained cells that could give rise to CTL, but only 2,4,6 trinitrophenyl-specific CTL responses could be obtained at this stage. A low alloresponse was first seen 2 wk after Cy injection.

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.
