Background: Interactions between cell adhesion molecules and their ligands are an integral
part of inflammatory processes and may have direct relevance to the pathology of asthma.
Methods: Immunostaining with antibodies to cell adhesion molecules was performed on
bronchial biopsy specimens from persons with intrinsic and extrinsic asthma, normal
nonasthmatic control subjects, and patients with asthma after allergen challenge. Results:
There was constitutive expression of intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1), E-selectin …
