L-selectin and skin damage in systemic sclerosis.

BackgroundL-selectin ligands are induced on the endothelium of inflammatory sites.L-selectin expression on neutrophils and monocytes may mediate the primary adhesion of these cells at sites of inflammation by mediating the leukocyte-leukocyte interactions that facilitate their recruitment.L-selectin retains functional activity in its soluble form.L
