Adhesion molecules intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1), ICAM-3 and B7 are not expressed by epithelium in normal or inflamed colon.
Adhesion molecules are involved in facilitating cell-mediated immune events. Because lymphocyte-epithelial cell interaction has been implicated in the pathogenesis of colonic inflammation, we analysed expression of a range of adhesion molecules on colonic epithelium in vitro and in vivo using flow c...
