Abstract

Alloreactive T lymphocytes generated against MHC antigens have previously been shown to adhere to lung stage schistosomula of S. mansoni because of the host MHC products known to be present on the surface of the parasites. In experiments reported here, the cells in this adherent population were shown to consist of Ly-2 positive, Thy-1 positive lymphocytes and to react specifically with products of the K and D but not the I region of the MHC. These results strengthen previous findings suggesting that the adherent lymphocytes are CTL.

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.
