“…Adhesion proteins on endothelium, such as P-selectin, E-selectin, vascular cell adhesion molecule 1 (VCAM-1),' or intercellular adhesion molecule 1 (ICAM-1) are either expressed de novo (VCAM-1, E-selectin), redistributed to the cell membrane from cytoplasmic stores (P-selectin), or upregulated from basal levels (ICAM-1) in multiple organs with various kinds of inflammatory disease activity, including inflammatory bowel disease ( 1,2), sepsis (3), AIDS encephalitis in monkeys (4), complement-mediated pulmonary injury in rats (5), allograft rejection (6,7), and cutaneous delayed hypersensitivity (DHR) (8)(9)(10)(11)(12). In experimental models of inflammatory disease, there are close spatial and temporal associations between the expression of endothelial adhesion molecules and the subsequent localization of leukocytes at the inflammatory site (9)(10)(11)(12)(13)(14)(15)(16).…”
