Preferred Label : receptors, lymphocyte homing;
MeSH definition : Cell surface glycoproteins on lymphocytes and other leukocytes that mediate adhesion
to specialized blood vessels called high endothelial venules. Several different classes
of lymphocyte homing receptors have been identified, and they appear to target different
surface molecules (addressins) on high endothelial venules in different tissues. The
adhesion plays a crucial role in the trafficking of lymphocytes.;
