Abstract
Current concepts of chemokine receptor (CKR) association with Th1 and Th2 cell polarization and effector function have largely ignored the diverse nature of effector and memory T cells in vivo. Here, we systematically investigated the association of 11 CKRs, singly or in combination, with CD4 T cell polarization. We show that Th1, Th2, Th0, and nonpolarized T cells in blood and tissue can express any of the CKRs studied but that each CKR defines a characteristic pool of polarized and nonpolarized CD4 T cells. Certain combinations of CKRs define populations that are markedly enriched in major subsets of Th1 versus Th2 cells. For example, although Th0, Th1, and Th2 cells are each found among blood CD4 T cells coordinately expressing CXCR3 and CCR4, Th1 but not Th2 cells can be CXCR3(+)CCR4(-), and Th2 but only rare Th1 cells are CCR4(+)CXCR3(-). Contrary to recent reports, although CCR7(-) cells contain a higher frequency of polarized CD4 T cells, most Th1 and Th2 effector cells are CCR7(+) and thus may be capable of lymphoid organ homing. Interestingly, Th1-associated CKRs show little or no preference for Th1 cells except when they are coexpressed with CXCR3. We conclude that the combinatorial expression of CKRs, which allow tissue- and subset-dependent targeting of effector cells during chemotactic navigation, defines physiologically significant subsets of polarized and nonpolarized T cells.

Abstract
BACKGROUND & AIMS Thymus-expressed chemokine (TECK) or CCL25) is selectively expressed in the small bowel (SB), where lamina propria lymphocytes (LPL) and intraepithelial leukocyte expressing the cognate chemokine receptor CCR9 predominate. We characterize the role of TECK and CCR9-expresing lymphocytes in small intestinal Crohn's disease. METHODS CCR9 expression on lymphocytes from lamina propria, mesenteric lymph node, and peripheral blood was analyzed by flow cytometry and by Northern blotting for LPL. TECK expression was analyzed in inflamed SB and colon by reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction and immunohistochemistry. RESULTS The fraction of CCR9(+) T cells in inflamed SB was significantly lower than in uninvolved SB mucosa. In contrast, in peripheral blood lymphocytes, CCR9(+) lymphocytes were markedly elevated in patients with small bowel Crohn's or celiac disease, but not in patients with purely colonic Crohn's. Also, TECK expression is altered in inflamed small bowel, being intensely expressed in a patchy distribution in crypt epithelial cells in proximity to lymphocytic infiltrates. TECK is not expressed in either normal or inflamed colon. CONCLUSIONS In SB immune-mediated diseases, there is repartitioning of CCR9(+) lymphocytes between SB and blood and an altered pattern of TECK expression in SB Crohn's. The TECK/CCR9 ligand/receptor pair may play an important role in the pathogenesis of SB Crohn's disease.

Abstract
STRL33/BONZO/TYMSTR is an orphan chemokine and HIV/SIV coreceptor receptor that is expressed on activated T lymphocytes. We describe an expression cloning strategy whereby we isolated a novel chemokine, which we name CXCL16. CXCL16 is an alpha (CXC) chemokine but also has characteristics of CC chemokines and a structure similar to fractalkine (neurotactin) in having a transmembrane region and a chemokine domain suspended by a mucin-like stalk. A recombinant version of CXCL16 fails to mediate chemotaxis to all known chemokine receptor transfectants tested but does mediate robust chemotaxis, high affinity binding, and calcium mobilization to Bonzo receptor transfectants, indicating that this is a unique receptor ligand interaction. In vitro polarized T cell subsets including Th1, Th2, and Tr1 cells express functional Bonzo, suggesting expression of this receptor in chronic inflammation, which we further verified by demonstration of CXCL16-mediated migration of tonsil-derived CD4(+) T lymphocytes. CXCL16 is expressed on the surface of APCs including subsets of CD19(+) B cells and CD14(+) monocyte/macrophages, and functional CXCL16 is also shed from macrophages. The combination of unique structural features of both Bonzo and CXCL16 suggest that this interaction may represent a new class of ligands for this receptor family. Additionally, this chemokine might play a unique dual role of attracting activated lymphocyte subsets during inflammation as well as facilitating immune responses via cell-cell contact.

Abstract
The lung is an important tertiary lymphoid organ with constant trafficking of T cells through the lung in both health and disease. T cell migration is controlled by a combination of adhesion receptors and chemokines expressed on vascular endothelium and in the tissue, often in an organ-specific manner. This leads to selective accumulation of different T cell subsets, a process called lymphocyte homing. There is evidence for a distinct lung-homing pathway, but no specific lung-homing receptors have been described. We analyzed the chemokine receptor profile of lung T cells to determine the extent to which lung T cells shared homing pathways with other organs such as the gut and skin. In addition, we compared expression of receptors in normal and asthmatic individuals to determine whether different pathways were used in health and disease. We observed that lung T cells expressed a profile of chemokine and adhesion receptors distinct from that of gut- and skin-homing T cells although no chemokine receptor specific for the lung was found. In particular, lung T cells expressed CCR5 and CXCR3, but not CCR9 or cutaneous lymphocyte Ag, and only low levels of CCR4 and alpha(4)beta(7). No differences were observed between lung T cells from normal vs asthmatic subjects. This study provides added support for the concept of a lung-homing pathway separate from other mucosal organs such as the gut and suggests that the chemokine pathways that control T cell migration in normal homeostasis and Th2-type inflammatory responses are similar.

Abstract
CCR4, a chemokine receptor for macrophage-derived chemokine (MDC) and thymus and activation-regulated chemokine (TARC), has been implicated as a preferential marker for Th2 lymphocytes. Following in vitro polarization protocols, most Th2 lymphocytes express CCR4 and respond to its ligands TARC and MDC, whereas Th1 lymphocytes express CXC chemokine receptor 3 and CCR5 (but not CCR4). We show in this study that CCR4 is a major receptor for MDC and TARC on T lymphocytes, as anti-CCR4 mAbs significantly inhibit the migration of these cells to MDC and TARC. CCR4 is also highly expressed in most single-positive CD4(+) thymocytes and on a major fraction of blood nonintestinal (alpha(4)beta(7)(-)) memory CD4 lymphocytes, including almost all skin memory CD4(+) cells expressing the cutaneous lymphocyte Ag (CLA), but weakly or not expressed in other subsets in thymus and blood. Interestingly, major fractions of circulating CCR4(+) memory CD4 lymphocytes coexpress the Th1-associated receptors CXC chemokine receptor 3 and CCR5, suggesting a potential problem in using these markers for Th1 vs Th2 lymphocyte cells. Moreover, although production of Th2 cytokines in blood T cells is associated with CCR4(+) CD4 lymphocytes, significant numbers of freshly isolated circulating CCR4(+) memory CD4 lymphocytes (including both CLA(+) and CLA(-) fractions) readily express the Th1 cytokine IFN-gamma after short-term stimulation. Our results are consistent with a role for CCR4 as a major trafficking receptor for systemic memory T cells, and indicate that the patterns and regulation of chemokine receptor expression in vivo are more complex than indicated by current in vitro models of Th1 vs Th2 cell generation.

Abstract
Chemokines play an important role in the migration of leukocytes at sites of inflammation, and some constitutively expressed chemokines may direct lymphocyte trafficking within lymphoid organs and peripheral tissues. Thymus-expressed chemokine (TECK or Ckbeta-15/CCL25), which signals through the chemokine receptor CCR9, is constitutively expressed in the thymus and small intestine but not colon, and chemoattracts a small fraction of PBLs that coexpress the integrin alpha(4)beta(7). Here we show that TECK is expressed in the human small bowel but not colon by endothelial cells and a subset of cells in intestinal crypts and lamina propria. CCR9 is expressed in the majority of freshly isolated small bowel lamina propria mononuclear cells (LPMC) and at significantly higher levels compared with colonic LPMC or PBL. TECK was selectively chemotactic for small bowel but not colonic LPMC in vitro. The TECK-induced chemotaxis was sensitive to pertussis toxin and partially inhibited by Abs to CCR9. TECK attracts predominantly the T cell fraction of small bowel LPMC, whereas sorted CD3(+)CCR9(+) and CD3(+)CCR9(-) lymphocytes produce similar Th1 or Th2 cytokines at the single cell level. Collectively, our data suggest that the selective expression of TECK in the small bowel underlie the homing of CCR9(+) intestinal memory T cells to the small bowel rather than to the colon. This regional specialization implies a segregation of small intestinal from colonic immune responses.

Abstract
Lymphocytes that are responsible for regional (tissue-specific) immunity home from the blood to the intestines, inflamed skin or other sites through a multistep process involving recognition of vascular endothelial cells and extravasation. Chemoattractant cytokine molecules known as chemokines regulate this lymphocyte traffic, in part by triggering arrest (stopping) of lymphocytes rolling on endothelium. Here we show that many systemic memory T cells in blood carry the chemokine receptor CCR4 and therefore respond to its ligands, the chemokines TARC and MDC. These cells include essentially all skin-homing cells expressing the cutaneous lymphocyte antigen and a subset of other systemic memory lymphocytes; however, intestinal (alpha4beta7+) memory and naive T cells respond poorly. Immunohistochemistry reveals anti-TARC reactivity of venules and infiltration of many CCR4+ lymphocytes in chronically inflamed skin, but not in the gastrointestinal lamina propria. Moreover, TARC induces integrin-dependent adhesion of skin (but not intestinal) memory T cells to the cell-adhesion molecule ICAM-1, and causes their rapid arrest under physiological flow. Our results suggest that CCR4 and TARC are important in the recognition of skin vasculature by circulating T cells and in directing lymphocytes that are involved in systemic as opposed to intestinal immunity to their target tissues.

Abstract
Platelet/endothelial cell adhesion molecule-1 (PECAM-1; CD31), a member of the Ig superfamily, is expressed strongly at endothelial cell-cell junctions, on platelets, and on most leukocytes. CD31 has been postulated to play a role in vasculogenesis and angiogenesis, and has been implicated as a key mediator of the transendothelial migration of leukocytes. To further define the physiologic role of CD31, we used targeted gene disruption of the CD31 gene in embryonic stem cells to generate CD31-deficient mice. CD31-deficient mice (CD31KO) are viable and born at the expected Mendelian frequency, remain healthy, and exhibit no obvious vascular developmental defects. In response to inflammatory challenge, polymorphonuclear leukocytes of CD31KO mice are arrested between the vascular endothelium and the basement membrane of inflammatory site mesenteric microvessels, confirming a role for CD31 in the migration of neutrophils through the subendothelial extracellular matrix. Normal numbers of leukocytes are recovered from inflammatory sites in CD31KO mice, however, suggesting that the defect in leukocyte migration across basal lamina observed in the absence of CD31 may be compensated for by the use of other adhesion molecules, or possibly an increased rate of migration. Homing of T lymphocytes in vivo is normal, and CD31KO mice are able to mount a cutaneous hypersensitivity response normally. In addition, CD31-mediated homophilic adhesion does not appear to play a role in platelet aggregation in vitro. This study provides genetic evidence that CD31 is involved in transbasement membrane migration, but does not play an obligatory role in either vascular development or leukocyte migration.

Abstract
STCP-1 stimulated T cell chemoattractant protein-1 (STCP-1) (macrophage-derived chemokine; MDC), a recently described CC chemokine for chronically activated T lymphocytes, was found to act specifically on a subset of memory CD4 lymphocytes that displayed a Th2 cytokine profile. Also, STCP-1, thymus and activation regulated chemokine (TARC), eotaxin, and eotaxin-2 acted specifically on in vitro derived Th2 lymphocytes, while IP-10 (IFN-gamma-inducible 10-kDa protein) showed some preference for Th1 lymphocytes. The corresponding receptors for eotaxin, TARC, and IP-10 are also differentially expressed on Th1 and Th2 lymphocytes. In desensitization Ca flux experiments, TARC and STCP-1 bound to a common receptor and therefore at least one chemokine receptor for STCP-1 is CCR4. STCP-1 expression is restricted to immune cells. Dendritic cells, B cells, and macrophages produce STCP-1 constitutively, while NK cells, monocytes, and CD4 lymphocytes produce STCP-1 upon appropriate stimulation. Production of STCP-1 is positively modulated by Th2 cytokines IL-4 and IL-13 but inhibited by IL-10.

Abstract
CD31 or platelet/endothelial cell adhesion molecule (PECAM-1) is a 130-kDa glycoprotein expressed on endothelial cells, granulocytes, a subset of lymphocytes and platelets. In this study, we examined the ability of four monoclonal antibodies (mAb) against different domains of CD31 to modulate the function of T lymphocytes, monocytes and neutrophils. Engagement of CD31 on T lymphocytes results in co-stimulation of T lymphocyte proliferation to suboptimal doses of anti-CD31 mAb. This proliferation is accompanied by secretion of numerous cytokines and chemokines, up-regulation of CD25 and an increase in cell size. Purification of T lymphocytes into CD45RO and CD45RA subsets showed that only naive CD45RA T lymphocytes are co-stimulated by anti-CD31 mAb. Further studies on neutrophils show that engagement of CD31 results in down-regulation of CD62L and up-regulation of CD11b/CD18 as well as oxidative burst, as assessed by superoxide release. In addition, ligation of CD31 on monocytes results in TNF-alpha secretion, and studies with various cell signaling inhibitors indicate that tyrosine kinases and cAMP-dependent kinases are involved in monocyte activation via CD31. Of the four mAb used in this study, only two activated human leukocytes. These mAb were PECAM-1.3 and hec7, which bind to domains 1 and 2 of CD31. We conclude that engagement of domains 1 and 2 of CD31 results in outside-in signaling in leukocytes.

Abstract
The leukocyte integrin LFA-1 plays an important role in leukocyte trafficking and the immune response. Using LFA-1-deficient mice, we demonstrate that LFA-1 regulates the trafficking of lymphocytes to peripheral lymph nodes, and, to a lesser degree, to mesenteric lymph nodes and acute inflammatory sites. LFA-1, either because of its role in initial adhesion and/ or the passage of leukocytes across endothelial cells, plays a vital role in T lymphocyte and neutrophil transendothelial migration. Neutrophils and activated T lymphocytes from LFA-1-deficient mice were unable to cross endothelial cell monolayers in response to a chemokine gradient, whereas wild-type (WT) T lymphocytes and neutrophils were capable of migration. By contrast, LFA-1-deficient T lymphocytes displayed normal chemotaxis to the same chemokine. Our studies with LFA-1-deficient monocytes indicate that LFA-1 acts in concert with complement receptor 3 to mediate transendothelial migration of these cells, as anti-CD18 monoclonal antibodies (mAb) blocked both WT and LFA-1-deficient monocyte transendothelial migration, whereas anti-CD11 b mAb preferentially blocked transendothelial migration of LFA-1-deficient monocytes. Finally, whereas anti-CD31 mAb blocked WT monocyte and neutrophil transendothelial cell migration they did not block LFA-1-deficient monocyte and neutrophil transendothelial migration.

Abstract
Carbohydrate ligands for lymphocyte L-selectin are expressed on high endothelial venules (HEVs) in peripheral lymph nodes and sites of chronic inflammation and mediate the recruitment of lymphocytes from the blood into these tissues. In the mouse, these ligands, collectively termed the peripheral lymph node addressin (PNAd), have been shown to contain fucose, sialic acid, and sulfate and to include several HEV glycoproteins including GlyCAM-1, CD34, and MAdCAM-1. Monoclonal antibody (MAb) MECA-79, which binds a sulfate-dependent epitope, recognizes PNAd in both mouse and man. In humans, only CD34 has been identified among the glycoprotein species that react with MECA-79. Although P-selectin is highly expressed in tonsil HEVs, it was not found to react with MECA-79 or to support L-selectin-mediated lymphocyte rolling. To further characterize human PNAd, MAbs were developed against purified PNAd immunoisolated from human tonsil. MAbs JG-1, JG-5, JG-9, and JG-10, like MECA-79, bind HEVs in human tonsil and react similarly in Western blots, and JG-9 and JG-10 also block lymphocyte rolling on purified PNAd. In addition, by competitive ELISA on purified tonsil PNAd, all MAbs were found to react with overlapping epitopes. However, JG-1, JG-5, JG-9, and JG-10 do not recognize mouse PNAd, and unlike MECA-79, they recognize determinants that are sensitive to neuraminidase. Strikingly, the epitope recognized by JG-1, although abundant in tonsil and peripheral lymph node, is absent from appendix HEVs or HEVs in some samples of chronically inflamed skin, even though these HEVs are MECA-79 reactive. Moreover, although JG-5 and JG-9 react well with tonsil, peripheral lymph node, and inflamed skin HEVs, they react only with occasional endothelial cells in appendix tissues. These findings point to significant diversity in the carbohydrate determinants expressed by HEVs and recognized by L-selectin and demonstrate their differential representation in different sites in vivo. These antibodies should be useful in probing the precise structure of human L-selectin ligands.

Abstract
A novel human chemokine STCP-1 (stimulated T cell chemotactic protein) was isolated from an activated macrophage cDNA library. The chemokine has four cysteines positioned in a manner that identifies STCP-1 as a member of the CC chemokine family. The amino acid sequence shows 34% identity with RANTES. The gene consists of 3 exons and 2 introns with the position of intron/exon boundaries similar to that of RANTES. The gene is expressed as a 3.4-kilobase transcript on lymph node, thymus, and Appendix. STCP-1 induces Ca2+ mobilization in a small percentage of primary activated T lymphocytes, but on repeated stimulation the percentage of T lymphocytes that respond to STCP-1 increases. The chemokine STCP-1 does not induce Ca2+ mobilization in monocytes, dendritic cells, neutrophils, eosinophils, lipopolysaccharide-activated B lymphocytes, and freshly isolated resting T lymphocytes. Similarly, STCP-1, while acting as a mild chemoattractant for primary activated T lymphocytes, is a potent chemoattractant for chronically activated T lymphocytes but has no chemoattractant activity for monocytes, neutrophils, eosinophils, and resting T lymphocytes. As STCP-1 acts specifically on activated T lymphocytes, it may play a role in the trafficking of activated/effector T lymphocytes to inflammatory sites and other aspects of activated T lymphocyte physiology.

Abstract
Beta 7 integrins serve special roles in mucosal immunity. Alpha 4 beta 7-mediated adhesion to mucosal addressin cell adhesion molecule-1 (MAdCAM-1) directs lymphocyte homing to the gut, and alpha E beta 7 mediates binding of lymphocytes to E-cadherin on epithelial cells. Since alpha 4 beta 7 mediates adhesion to MAdCAM-1 but alpha 4 beta 1 does not, we used beta 7/beta 1 chimeras to directly assess the importance of specific regions of beta 7 in MAdCAM-1 binding. We found a region of beta 7 (residues 46-386) that accounts for specificity of alpha 4 beta 7 binding to MAdCAM-1. We also used human/mouse and human/rat chimeric beta 7 subunits to map epitopes recognized by fifteen anti-beta 7 mAbs. Six of seven Abs that block adhesion to MAdCAM-1 and E-cadherin (Fib 21, 22, 27, 30, 504; Act-1) mapped to amino acid residues 176-250. Residues 176-250 lie within the region of beta 7 that specifies MAdCAM-1 binding and also within a region that has a predicted structure homologous to the metal ion-dependent adhesion site (MIDAS) domains of the integrin subunits alpha L and alpha M. Three new Abs that recognize beta 7 in the presence of Mn2+, but not Ca2+, and promote adhesion to MAdCAM-1, mapped to amino acids 46-149. One blocking and five other Abs mapped to other regions (amino acids 387-725). We conclude that a MIDAS-like domain serves a critical role in beta 7 integrin-mediated adhesion.

Abstract
T cells show a bias in their migration pathways: some T cells preferentially migrate to peripheral lymph nodes (LN), some to mucosal tissues, and some to peripheral tissues such as skin. These recirculation pathways were examined in sheep by collecting lymph draining into and out of peripheral and intestinal LN, and using fluorescent dyes to trace the recirculation of the lymph cells. Monoclonal antibodies (mAb) to alpha 4, beta 1, and beta 7 integrins, and L-selectin, were used to define three major populations of recirculating T cells. Naive-type T cells (L-selectin+, alpha 4 beta 1lo beta 7lo) migrated preferentially through peripheral LN. Two memory populations could be defined: alpha 4 beta 1hi beta 7- and alpha 4 beta 7hi beta 1lo. alpha 4 beta 1hi beta 7- T cells were present in lymph draining from the skin. T cells migrating preferentially through intestinal LN were alpha 4 beta 7hi beta 1lo. Consistent with this migration pattern, the endothelial receptor for alpha 4 beta 7, mucosal addressin cell adhesion molecule-1 (MAdCAM-1) was detected on high endothelial venules within intestinal LN and Peyer's patches, but only weakly on high endothelial venules within peripheral LN. Thus, there are at least three easily definable subsets of T cells, based on integrin expression, which show distinct migration preferences.

Abstract
The leukocyte integrin alpha 4 beta 7 is a receptor for the vascular mucosal addressin cell adhesion molecule-1 (MAdCAM-1). Most circulating B and T lymphocytes in man are alpha 4+, and on these cells the regulated display of the beta 7 integrin chain determines the expression of alpha 4 beta 7 and, in large part, binding to MAdCAM-1. Among CD4+ T cells, beta 7 high memory cells (including the L-selectin+ subset) bind MAdCAM-1 better than beta 7int naive cells; whereas beta 7- memory cells,including skin homing lymphocytes, interact poorly if at all. Circulating alpha E beta 7+ T cells are alpha 4 beta 7high and also bind MAdCAM-1 well. B cells are also subdivided by beta 7 expression, and beta 7+ B cells bind MAdCAM-1 better than the beta 7low/- subset. The related vascular ligand vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1), expressed on endothelium primarily in nonmucosal sites of inflammation, interacts with blood lymphocytes (including beta 7high T cells) almost exclusively via alpha 4 beta 1 and binds beta 7low/-(beta 1high) better than beta 7+ B cells and memory cells better than naive CD4+ cells. beta 7-(beta 1high) memory T cells are somewhat enriched over beta 7high memory cells at low (but not at high) VCAM-1 densities. Interestingly, CD56+ NK cells, which express both alpha 4 beta 7 and alpha 4 beta 1, bind well to VCAM-1 but poorly to MAdCAM-1. The findings indicate that the display and function of alpha 4 beta 7 determine integrin-dependent blood lymphocyte interactions with MAdCAM-1, thus delineating discrete mucosal vs nonmucosal lymphocyte populations in vivo; that alpha 4 beta 1 dominates blood lymphocyte interactions with VCAM-1; and that quantitative and qualitative regulation of MAdCAM-1 vs VCAM-1 can critically control the recruitment of specialized lymphocyte subsets during inflammation.

Abstract
CD34 is expressed on the surface of hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells, stromal cells, and on the surface of high-endothelial venules (HEV). CD34 binds L-selectin, an adhesion molecule important for leukocyte rolling on venules and lymphocyte homing to peripheral lymph nodes (PLN). We generated CD34-deficient mutant animals through the use of homologous recombination. Wild-type and mutant animals showed no differences in lymphocyte binding to PLN HEV, in leukocyte rolling on venules or homing to PLN, in neutrophil extravasation into peritoneum in response to inflammatory stimulus, nor in delayed type hypersensitivity. Anti-L-selectin monoclonal antibody (MEL-14) also inhibited these immune responses similarly in both CD34-deficient and wild-type mice. However, eosinophil accumulation in the lung after inhalation of a model allergen, ovalbumin, is several-fold lower in mutant mice. We found no abnormalities in hematopoiesis in adult mice and interactions between mutant progenitor cells and a stromal cell line in vitro were normal. No differences existed in the recovery of progenitor cells after 5-fluorouracil treatment, nor in the mobilization of progenitor cells after granulocyte colony-stimulating factor treatment compared with wild-type animals. Surprisingly, although CD34 was not expressed in these mice, a portion of its 90-kD band crossreactive with MECA79 remained after Western blot. Thus, we have identified an additional molecule(s) that might be involved in leukocyte trafficking. These results indicate that CD34 plays an important role in eosinophil trafficking into the lung.

Abstract
Beta 7 is expressed on subsets of thymocytes, while T and B lymphocytes show heterogeneous expression of beta 7. Here, we examine the phenotype of the thymocyte and lymphocyte subsets which express alpha 4 beta 7 and alpha E beta 7 using mAb against alpha E, beta 7 and mAb DATK32 which recognizes a combinatiorial epitope on alpha 4 beta 7+ thymocytes have a mature phenotype: TcR+, CD11a(hi)CD44(hi)HSA(dull). Small subsets of double-negative CD4-CD8-, single-positive CD4+ and CD8+ thymocytes express beta 7, while double-positive CD4+CD8+ thymocytes are beta 7-. However, two integrins alpha E beta 7 and alpha 4 beta 7 recognized by anti-beta 7 are not expressed on an identical subpopulation of thymocytes, as alpha E beta 7+ alpha 4 beta 7-, alpha E beta 7 + alpha 4 beta 7+ and alpha E beta 7- alpha 4 beta 7+ thymocyte subsets are evident. Similarly, intraepithelial lymphocytes express high levels of alpha E beta 7 but little alpha 4 beta 7. In the spleen, Peyer's patches and lymph nodes, alpha 4 beta 7 is expressed at higher levels on most B lymphocytes than on the majority of T lymphocytes, while a small subset of T lymphocytes, which includes both CD4+ and CD8+ lymphocytes, express high levels of beta 7 in the form of alpha 4 beta 7 and alpha E beta 7, although, as observed with lymphocytes, not all alpha 4 beta 7 hi CD4+ lymphocytes expressed alpha 4 beta 7. The population of alpha 4 beta 7 hi CD4 lymphocytes are enriched in Peyer's patches and form subsets of the memory CD4+ lymphocyte population, which can be further subdivided on the basis of alpha E beta 7, L-selectin and alpha 4 expression. Therefore, memory CD4+ lymphocytes are highly heterogeneous in their expression of adhesion receptors, and presumably these subpopulations will exhibit very different trafficking properties.

Abstract
We describe here a mAb, DATK44, which induces homotypic aggregation of TK1 cells (a CD8 lymphoma). The glycoprotein recognized by DATK44 is of approximate m.w. 50 kDa and is expressed by monocytes, neutrophils, and subsets of lymphocytes, as well as on the high endothelial venule in peripheral and mesenteric lymph nodes. We named this Ag TABS (T cell activation B cell subset Ag), as TABS appears on T lymphocyte activation and is expressed at low and high levels by B cells. TABS is differentially regulated during T lymphocyte development, CD4+veCD8+ve thymocytes being TABShigh, while single positive CD4+ve and CD8+ve thymocytes are TABSdull CD4-veCD8-ve thymocytes are clearly split into dull and bright populations by the mAb. On exit from the thymus, T lymphocytes cease to express TABS, but T lymphocyte activation results in re-expression of TABS. TABS also shows tight coregulation with heat stable Ag on resting lymphocytes, but coexpression of these two molecules is lost upon lymphocyte activation. DATK44-induced aggregation of TK1 cells is temperature sensitive and blocked by pretreatment of the cells with metabolic inhibitors, genestein, dibutyl cAMP or cytochalasin B, while colchicine, staurosporin, sphingosine, okadaic acid, and W7 are without effect. DATK44-induced TK1 cell aggregation appears to be mediated by the LFA-1 pathway, as aggregation is blocked by anti-LFA-1 and anti-ICAM-1 mAbs but not by Abs capable of blocking CD44 and alpha 4 beta 7-mediated adhesion. Thus, TABS appears to be an adhesion inducer that selectively activates LFA-1-mediated lymphocyte aggregation.

Abstract
The heterodimeric alpha 4 integrins alpha 4 beta 7 lymphocyte Peyer's patch adhesion molecule ([LPAM]-1) and alpha 4 beta 1 (very late antigen-4) are cell surface adhesion molecules involved in lymphocyte trafficking and lymphocyte-cell and matrix interactions. Known cellular ligands include vascular cell adhesion molecule (VCAM)-1, which binds to alpha 4 beta 1 and alpha 4 beta 7, and the mucosal addressin cell adhesion molecule (MAdCAM)-1, which binds to alpha 4 beta 7. Here we show that the alpha 4 chain of these integrins can itself serve as a ligand. The alpha 4 chain, immunoaffinity purified and immobilized on glass slides, binds thymocytes and T lymphocytes. Binding exhibits divalent cation requirements and temperature sensitivity which are characteristic of integrin-mediated interactions, and is specifically inhibited by anti-alpha 4 integrin antibodies, which exert their effect at the cell surface. Cells expressing exclusively alpha 4 beta 7 (TK-1) or alpha 4 beta 1 (L1-2) both bound avidly, whereas alpha 4-negative cells did not. A soluble 34-kD alpha 4 chain fragment retained binding activity, and it inhibited lymphocyte adhesion to alpha 4 ligands. It has been shown that alpha 4 integrin binding to fibronectin involves an leucine-aspartic acid-valine (LDV) motif in the HepII/IIICS region of fibronectin (CS-1 peptide), and homologous sequences are important in binding to VCAM-1 and MAdCAM-1. Three conserved LDV motifs occur in the extracellular sequence of alpha 4. A synthetic LDV-containing alpha 4-derived oligopeptide supports alpha 4-integrin-dependent lymphocyte adhesion and blocks binding to the 34-kD alpha 4 chain fragment. Our results suggest that alpha 4 beta 7 and alpha 4 beta 1 integrins may be able to bind to the alpha 4 subunit on adjacent cells, providing a novel mechanism for alpha 4 integrin-mediated and activation-regulated lymphocyte interactions during immune responses.

Abstract
Lymphocytes continuously migrate throughout the body in search of antigens. Virgin lymphocytes recirculate freely between the blood and different lymphatic organs, whereas immunoblasts extravasate preferentially into sites similar to those where they initially responded to antigen. Tissue-specific extravasation of lymphocytes is largely controlled by distinct lymphocyte surface receptors that mediate lymphocyte binding to high endothelial venules (HEV). In the present study, the molecular mechanisms determining the specificity of human mucosal (lamina propria) lymphocyte binding to different endothelial recognition systems were analyzed. Mucosal immunoblasts adhered five times better than small mucosal lymphocytes to mucosal HEV. Importantly, mucosal immunoblasts also bound to synovial HEV almost as efficiently as to mucosal HEV, but they did not adhere to peripheral lymph node HEV. To study the impact of different homing-associated molecules in this dual endothelial binding, we used a gut-derived T cell line and freshly isolated mucosal immunoblasts. Both cell types expressed integrins alpha 4, beta 1, beta 7, and lymphocyte function associated antigen 1 (LFA-1), and were CD44 positive, but practically L-selectin negative. Binding of mucosal immunoblasts to mucosal HEV was almost completely abolished by pretreatment with anti-beta 7 monoclonal antibodies, but it was independent of alpha 4/beta 1 function. In contrast, alpha 4/beta 1 partially mediated immunoblast adherence to synovial HEV, whereas alpha 4/beta 7 had only a minor role in adherence of blasts at this site. CD44 and LFA-1 contributed to HEV-binding both in mucosa and synovium. Taken together, this is the first report that demonstrates a critical role for alpha 4/beta 7 in the binding of gut lymphocytes to mucosal venules in humans. Moreover, a hitherto unknown interaction between mucosal effector cells and synovial endothelial cells was shown to be only partially mediated by the currently known homing receptors. The dual endothelial binding capacity of mucosal blasts may help to explain the pathogenesis of reactive arthritis not uncommonly associated with inflammatory and infectious bowel disease.

Abstract
The mouse CD8+ T cell lymphoma TK1 expresses high levels of alpha 4 beta 7 integrin, which it can use to interact with multiple ligands including mucosal addressin-1 (MAdCAM-1), VCAM-1, and fibronectin. In addition, alpha 4 beta 7 can support TK1 cell aggregation. Here we have produced and characterized a panel of mAbs against alpha 4 beta 7 to define antigenic and functional epitopes associated with its distinct functions. One mAb, DATK32, is unique in recognizing an epitope specific to the alpha 4 beta 7 heterodimer. Furthermore, DATK32 induces TK1 cell aggregation yet inhibits TK1 cell adhesion to MAdCAM-1, VCAM-1, and fibronectin. Considered as a whole, the panel of anti-alpha 4 beta 7 mAbs studied define unique patterns of inhibition for alpha 4 beta 7 binding to each of its defined molecular ligands. We conclude that alpha 4 beta 7 interactions with MAdCAM-1, VCAM-1, and fibronectin can be modulated by Ab binding to distinct epitopes and thus probably involve functionally separable, although physically overlapping binding sites on this multifunctional integrin. These findings are consistent with the general observation that integrins use distinct, potentially differentially regulated interaction sites for adhesion to multiple ligands. Extension of these concepts to alpha 4 beta 7 has important considerations for understanding the roles of this integrin in lymphocyte homing to mucosal sites and in cell-cell interactions during the immune response.

Abstract
Abstract
Binding of FMLP to the neutrophil N-formyl peptide receptor (FPR) transmits signals through pertussis toxin-sensitive G proteins triggering Ca2+ flux, superoxide production, granule exocytosis, and neutrophil aggregation and adhesion involving the beta 2 (CD18) integrins. Expression of the FPR in mouse fibroblasts or human kidney cells has been shown to confer an N-formyl peptide-inducible Ca2+ flux in transfectants. Here we demonstrate that the transfected receptor can also support ligand-induced alterations in cellular adhesion. We established stable transfectants of mouse L1-2 pre-B cells with cDNA for human FPR (L1-2 FPR cells). The transfectants bind N-formyl-Nle-Leu-Phe-Nle-Tyr-Lys-fluorescein with 1.4 x 10(5) sites per cell and a dissociation constant of 3.3 nM. Stimulation with FMLP induces a transient Ca2+ flux. FMLP also triggers adhesion of L1-2 FPR cells to TNF-alpha- or LPS-activated bEnd3 cells (mouse brain-derived endothelial cells) and to purified mouse VCAM-1. Binding is inhibited by Abs to VCAM-1 and to the alpha-chain of its lymphocyte receptor (the alpha 4 beta 1 integrin, VLA-4). Stimulation with FMLP does not induce a change in cell surface expression of alpha 4. Induced adhesion to VCAM-1 is rapid, detectable at the earliest times measurable (30 to 60 s after FMLP addition), and is inhibited by pertussis toxin. We conclude that FPR can mediate integrin activation not only in neutrophils but also in lymphocytes, and can trigger rapid adhesion via lymphocyte alpha 4 beta 1. The adhesion of lymphocytes is critical to their migration and targeting; our results suggest the possibility of manipulating adhesive responses through expression of chemoattractant receptors in lymphoid cells engineered for cellular therapy, allowing targeted adhesion and potentially migration in response to locally administered ligands.

Abstract
Abstract
Lymphocyte recirculation through different organs is thought to be regulated by adhesion molecules ("homing receptors") recognizing tissue-specific vascular addressins on endothelium. Here we show that the alpha 4/beta 7-integrin has a key role in the migration of mouse lymphocytes to mucosal sites. Homing to Peyer's patches but not to peripheral lymph nodes is inhibited by Fab fragments of mAb PS/2 against the alpha 4-integrin chain, by mAb DATK32 recognizing a combinatorial epitope on the alpha 4/beta 7-integrin, and by mAb FIB30 against the beta 7-chain. The Abs significantly reduce homing of lymphocytes to the intestine, as well. The migration of immunoblasts to gut and gut-associated lymphoid tissue also involves the alpha 4/beta 7-integrin heterodimer. Another anti-alpha 4 Ab, R1-2, which blocks lymphocyte binding to Peyer's patches in the Stamper-Woodruff frozen section assay and lymphocyte adhesion to VCAM-1 and fibronectin, has only minor effects on lymphocyte traffic in vivo. Anti-VCAM-1 Ab as well as the fibronectin peptide CS-1 are without influence on the migration to Peyer's patches or intestine, in contrast to Ab against the mucosal addressin MAdCAM-1. Thus, homing to gut-associated sites is regulated by the alpha 4/beta 7-integrin heterodimer interacting with the vascular addressin, MAdCAM-1, and not with fibronectin or VCAM-1 as counterstructures. Inhibition of homing to Peyer's patches and intestine by the anti-integrin Abs studied was only partial. L-selectin also participates in the homing of small lymphocytes to mucosal sites, especially Peyer's patches, but does not contribute substantially to the localization of blasts into the intestinal wall. The results support a major, but not exclusive role of the alpha 4/beta 7-integrin in lymphocyte traffic to mucosal sites.

Abstract
The mucosal vascular addressin, MAdCAM-1, is an immunoglobulin superfamily adhesion molecule for lymphocytes that is expressed by mucosal venules and helps direct lymphocyte traffic into Peyer's patches (PP) and the intestinal lamina propria. We demonstrate that the lymphocyte integrin alpha 4 beta 7, also implicated in homing to PP, is a receptor for MAdCAM-1. Certain antibodies to alpha 4 and beta 7 integrin chains but not to the beta 2 integrin LFA-1 inhibit lymphocyte binding to purified MAdCAM-1 and to MAdCAM-1 transfectants. Lymph node lymphocytes, alpha 4 beta 7+ TK1 lymphoma cells, and a beta 7-transfected variant of an alpha 4+ B cell line, 38C13, bind constitutively to MAdCAM-1. Binding is enhanced by Mn(++)-induced integrin activation. The related integrin alpha 4 beta 1 supports efficient binding to VCAM-1 but not to MAdCAM-1, even after integrin activation, indicating that MAdCAM-1 is a preferential ligand for alpha 4 beta 7. Alpha 4 beta 7 can also bind VCAM-1, but this requires greater integrin activation than binding to MAdCAM-1. The findings imply a selective role for the interaction of alpha 4 beta 7 and MAdCAM-1 lymphocyte in homing to mucosal sites.

Abstract
1. The modification of the vasodilator effect of calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) by a panel of monoclonal antibodies (MAbs), which map to discrete epitopes on the CGRP molecule, was investigated in pig coronary artery rings (PCA). The preparations were pre-constricted with acetylcholine (3 x 10(-7) M) and concentration-response curves to CGRP (2 x 10(-10)-2.56 x 10(-8) M) were obtained in the presence or absence of each MAb. 2. CGRP caused a concentration-dependent relaxation of PCAs which reached a maximum (98.2 +/- 4.8%, n = 25) at 1.28 x 10(-8) M and gave an EC50 of 3.8 +/- 0.8 x 10(-9) M. 3. Two MAbs which map to the N-terminal, CN1 and CRA3, did not affect the CGRP response whilst a third, CRA5, significantly inhibited its effect. 4. The C-terminal MAb, CRA2, did not modify the CGRP response whilst, in contrast, CB3 (C-terminal) potentiated its effect. A similar augmentation of the CGRP-induced vasodilatation was seen in the presence of the middle-region MAb, CRA8. 5. These results suggest that regional specific MAbs can modify the vasodilator effect of CGRP causing either inhibition (CRA5, N-terminal) or potentiation (CB3, C-terminal; CRA8, middle region).

Abstract
1 The L6 myocyte cell line expresses high affinity receptors for calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) which are coupled to activation of adenylyl cyclase. The biochemical pharmacology of these receptors has been examined by radioligand binding or adenosine 3':5'-cyclic monophosphate (cyclic AMP) accumulation. 2 In intact cells at 37 degrees C, human and rat alpha- and beta-CGRP all activated adenylyl cyclase with EC50s of about 1.5 nM. A number of CGRP analogues containing up to five amino acid substitutions showed similar potencies. In membrane binding studies at 22 degrees C in 1 mM Mg2+, the above all bound to a single site with IC50s of 0.1-0.4 nM. 3 The fragment CGRP(8-37) acted as a competitive antagonist of CGRP stimulation of adenylyl cyclase with a calculated Kd of 5 nM. The Kd determined in membrane binding assays was lower (0.5 nM). 4 The N-terminal extended human alpha-CGRP analogue Tyro-CGRP activated adenylyl cyclase and inhibited [125I]-iodohistidyl-CGRP binding less potently than human alpha-CGRP (EC50 for cyclase = 12 nM, IC50 for binding = 4 nM). 5 The pharmacological profile of the L6 CGRP receptor suggests that it most closely resembles sites on skeletal muscle, cardiac myocytes and hepatocytes. The L6 cell line should be a stable homogeneous model system in which to study CGRP mechanisms and pharmacology.

Abstract
A panel of 18 monoclonal antibodies was raised to the human calcitonin gene related peptide (CGRP). Of these mabs, seven were specific for alpha CGRP and five for beta CGRP, while the remainder reacted with both alpha and beta CGRP. Nine different epitopes on CGRP were defined with these mabs. In addition, the mabs were tested in various combinations to develop a series of two site assays specific for alpha or for beta CGRP as well as assays able to detect both.
