Objective. Perivascular infiltrates in skin, subcutaneous tissue, and internal organs are a characteristic feature of early systemic sclerosis (SSc). We studied the first step of migration of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) through the vessel wall to the extravascular space, i.e., adhesion

## Abstract Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic inflammatory demyelinating disease of the central nervous system, and it is considered to be a T helper 1 (Th1) cellβmediated autoimmune disease. Tβbet has been identified as a key transcription factor for the development of Th1 cells and the inducti
We evaluated the expression of the cell-adhesion molecules (CAM) that might be involved in liver-associated lymphocyte (VU) contacts with other sinusoidal cells and/or be responsible for natural-killer(NK)-and lymphokine-activated killer(LAK) activity in patients with liver metastasis. The LAL popul
