Close contact between T lymphocytes and keratinocytes is an important feature of many inflammatory skin diseases. In vitro studies showed that stimulation of keratinocytes with interferon-gamma or tumor necrosis factor-alpha and of T cells with phorbol esters results in a leukocyte function-associated antigen (LFA)-1/intercellular adhesion molecule (ICAM)-1-mediated adhesion. The present study was performed to investigate the role of the CD44 molecule in keratinocyte/T-cell binding. The CD44 class of lymphocyte adhesion receptors is involved in lymphocyte binding to high endothelial venules and to extracellular matrix compounds and is therefore important in lymphocyte recirculation and homing. Moreover, CD44 can act as a co-stimulating signal in T-cell activation and promotes homotypic adhesion of in vitro cultured CD3-stimulated T cells. Using a cell adhesion assay a sixfold increase in T-cell/keratinocyte adhesion was found after pre-incubating the T cells with anti-CD44. This increased adhesion was found to require an intact cytoskeleton, to be energy and magnesium dependent, and could be completely inhibited by anti-LFA-1 and anti-ICAM-1. Pretreatment of T cells with hyaluronic acid, a ligand for CD44 and an extracellular matrix compound in the dermis and epidermis, did not affect T-cell/keratinocyte adhesion.

D004797 Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay An immunoassay utilizing an antibody labeled with an enzyme marker such as horseradish peroxidase. While either the enzyme or the antibody is bound to an immunosorbent substrate, they both retain their biologic activity; the change in enzyme activity as a result of the enzyme-antibody-antigen reaction is proportional to the concentration of the antigen and can be measured spectrophotometrically or with the naked eye. Many variations of the method have been developed.

D013601 T-Lymphocytes Lymphocytes responsible for cell-mediated immunity. Two types have been identified - cytotoxic (T-LYMPHOCYTES, CYTOTOXIC) and helper T-lymphocytes (T-LYMPHOCYTES, HELPER-INDUCER). They are formed when lymphocytes circulate through the THYMUS GLAND and differentiate to thymocytes. When exposed to an antigen, they divide rapidly and produce large numbers of new T cells sensitized to that antigen.

D015603 Keratinocytes Epidermal cells which synthesize keratin and undergo characteristic changes as they move upward from the basal layers of the epidermis to the cornified (horny) layer of the skin. Successive stages of differentiation of the keratinocytes forming the epidermal layers are basal cell, spinous or prickle cell, and the granular cell. Keratinocyte
