MAdCAM-1 is a 60 kD endothelial cell adhesion molecule expressed on the surface of high endothelial venules in the gut, and in Peyers patches.
One of the first parallel plate flow chamber described to study neutrophil adhesion to endothelium was described in 1987 by Lawrence et al [ 7 ] . Initially, several investigators produced chambers identical to or very similar to this design, and over the years this initial design has been the most widely used [ 8 ] . This design allowed for study of leukocyte-endothelial interaction from a top-down view and under laminar flow that occurs in the post-capillary venules, the physiologically relevant site for most leukocyte emigration.
HEV (high endothelial venules)
At other levels of section, the early SC had a more primitive vascular appearance (Figure 4C), consistent with its likely derivation from coalescing venules.
SLC/CCL21, a CC chemokine expressed in high endothelial venules and in T cell zones of spleen and lymph nodes, strongly attracts naive T cells and DCs [ 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 ] . Because DCs are potent APCs that function as principal activators of T cells, the capacity to facilitate the co-localization of both DC and T cells may reverse tumor-mediated immune suppression and orchestrate effective cell-mediated immune responses [ 9 10 25 26 27 ] . In addition to its immunotherapeutic potential, SLC/CCL21 has been found to have potent angiostatic effects [ 28 ] , thus adding further support for its use in cancer therapy.
