ROLE OF ADHESION MOLECULES IN IMMUNE RESPONSE
The review of the world literature contains data indicating the important role of mediators of cell-cell interactions in the immune system. Structural features of selectins, integrins, immunoglobulins superfamily molecules and kadherins, and also their participation in realization of the immune response are considered. Ability of adhesion molecules to influence inflammation and reparation processes is noted that provides a constancy of the internal environment and stability of physiological functions of an organism.
