“…Since both mucosa‐homing T cells and neutrophils can adhere to ELAM‐1, Picker et al (1991) suggested that local factors trigger the selection of homing T cells for extravasation to the mucosa. This hypothesis is supported by findings reported by Kinane et al (1993), who used electrophoretic analysis to investigate T‐cell subsets within normal skin and mucosa. They reported that similarities existed in the gene rearrangement profiles of homing T cells when comparing biopsies obtained from symmetric localization in the same individual.…”

“…They reported that similarities existed in the gene rearrangement profiles of homing T cells when comparing biopsies obtained from symmetric localization in the same individual. Kinane et al (1993) supposed that a local immune system exists both in the skin and in the mucosa which is composed of skin‐homing and gingiva‐homing memory T cells.…”

“…Therefore the distribution of IgA1-and IgA2-producing cells in inflamed gingiva may reflect a difference in the predominant type and nature of antigens involved in the induction of the local humoral immune response in periodontium. The observed preponderance of IgA1 or IgA2 cells in gingival tissues may be due to differences in the original precursors of IgA plasma cells destined for the gingival tissue, selective homing of specific B cells and/or the local expansion of specific B cell clones by various antigens that induce preferential IgA1 or IgA2 responses [52,53].…”

“…Resistant subjects were proposed to exhibit an increase in TH1 cells selectively homing to the gingiva resulting in B-cell suppression and a stable T-cell lesion with slow tissue destruction. In this regard, Kinane et al (174) used polymerase chain reaction amplification of the V-J junctions of the T-cell receptor y gene rearrangements to establish that T cells localizing in gingiva differ from those in skin and peripheral blood. They concluded that these findings are consistent with the existence of local immune systems composed of skin-homing and gingiva-homing memory T cells.…”
