Abstract
Leukocyte rolling in blood venules attracted the attention of scientists for more than a century (Cohnheim, 1877; Atherton and Born 1973). Recent studies with function-blocking reagents (Abbasi et al. 1991) and with planar membranes containing selectin molecules (Lawrence and Springer 1991) showed that this interesting mode of cell-substrate adhesion is mediated by cell surface adhesion molecules called selectins.
