Migration of blood-borne lymphocytes into lymphoid tissues and sites of inflammation is
initiated by vascular adhesion molecules and proinflammatory cytokines. Previous in vivo …

Fever is associated with increased survival during acute infection, although its mechanism of
action is largely unknown. This study found evidence of an unexpectedly integrated …

The L-selectin leukocyte adhesion molecule plays an important role in controlling leukocyte
extravasation in peripheral lymph nodes and at sites of tissue injury or infection. Although …

Migration of blood-borne lymphocytes into lymphoid tissues is initiated by the Lselectin and
alpha4beta7 integrin adhesion molecules. Previous studies have shown that L-selectin …

The evolutionarily conserved febrile response has been associated with improved survival
during infection in endothermic and ectothermic species although its protective mechanism …

Migration of blood-borne lymphocytes into tissues involves a tightly orchestrated sequence
of adhesion events. Adhesion molecules and chemokine receptors on the surface of …

Background and aim: The activation of NF-κB induces production of inflammatory cytokines
and up regulation of endothelial cell adhesion molecules (ECAM). ECAM (eg, E-selectin …

Immune protection from microbial invaders or malignant progression is dependent on the
ability of lymphocytes to efficiently traffic across morphologically and biochemically distinct …

Background Studies from our laboratory have shown that the earliest stages of
atherosclerosis may be mediated by an autoimmune reaction against heat shock protein 60 …

Objective: Fever is associated with improved survival, although its beneficial mechanisms
are poorly understood. Previous studies indicate that the thermal element of fever augments …
