Phosphomannosyl receptors may participate in the adhesive interaction between lymphocytes and high endothelial venules. [PDF]
, 1984 Normal and malignant lymphocytes can migrate from the bloodstream into lymph nodes and Peyer's patches. This process helps distribute normal lymphocytes throughout the lymphoid system and may provide a portal of entry for circulating malignant cells.

Nanomedicine for Oral Delivery: Strategies to Overcome the Biological Barriers
Small Methods, EarlyView.Oral delivery is a preferred administration route for many clinical applications, valued for its strong patient compliance. In this review, how nanoparticles are engineered and deployed to overcome the gastrointestinal barriers that impede clinical translation of oral delivery formulations is examined.

Using the Man9(GlcNAc)2 – DC-SIGN pairing to probe specificity in photochemical immobilization [PDF]
, 2010 We demonstrate the expected preference of an immobilised oligosaccharide Man(9)(GlcNAc)(2) upon a 96-well photochemical array, for its known receptor, the cell-surface lectin Dendritic Cell-Specific ICAM3 Grabbing Nonintegrin (DC-SIGN) when compared to ...
