Abstract
This paper reviews recent work regarding the molecules that mediate leukocyte-endothelial cell adhesion, describes the underlying principles of leukocyte migration, and discusses a model of the sequence of events that allows a leukocyte to attach to endothelium and migrate into tissue. Pathophysiological importance of the adhesion molecules in the development of different states of inflammation has been also presented.
