“…So far, no correlation has been found between expression of known adhesion molecules and susceptibility to induction of detachment in cell lines. B cell detachment could be induced in cell lines lacking PZintegrins (MTLM4, [26]), 61-integrin members (BJAB), CD31, CD44, CD61, CD73 and L-selectin (BJAB, MTLMd), CD23 and CD32 (MTLM4, [26]). Furthermore, a possible role of CD22 was unlikely since its lectin-like activity is independent of divalent cations such as Ca2+ and Mg2+ [27,28] and was ruled out by the inability of blocking antibody HB22-7 (kindly provided by Dr. Tom Tedder) to influence adhesion to activated HUVEC in our model system.…”
