Abstract

A study of resistance to osmotic shock of peripheral blood lymphocytes from healthy donors and schizophrenics demonstrated two lymphocyte subpopulations: a low resistant subpopulation (about 20%) and high resistant subpopulation (about 80%). The lymphocytes from donors belonging to the former subpopulation popossess increased adhesiveness. 60% of schizophrenic patients lack the subpopulation of low resistant lymphocytes. Abnormal resistance to osmotic shock is characteristic of highly adhesive lymphocytes.

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. Discover the latest research on adhesion molecule and their role in health and disease here.
