ELAM-1 Mediates Cell Adhesion by Recognition of a Carbohydrate Ligand, Sialyl-Le <sup>x</sup>

抄録

<jats:p> Recruitment of neutrophils to sites of inflammation is mediated in part by endothelial leukocyte adhesion molecule-1 (ELAM-1), which is expressed on activated endothelial cells of the blood vessel walls. ELAM-1 is a member of the LEC-CAM or selectin family of adhesion molecules that contain a lectin motif thought to recognize carbohydrate ligands. In this report, cell adhesion by ELAM-1 is shown to be mediated by a carbohydrate ligand, sialyl-Lewis X (SLe <jats:sup>x</jats:sup> ; NeuAcα2,3Galβ 1,4(Fucα1,3)-GlcNAc-), a terminal structure found on cell-surface glycoprotein and glycolipid carbohydrate groups of neutrophils. </jats:p>
