LAD-2 Acron. for leukocyte-adhesion deficiency 1. LAD-2<br />
lambda chain (or λ chain) In the context of immunoglobulins, one<br />
of the two forms of immunoglobulin light<br />
chains.<br />
Langerhans cells Dendritic cells found in the skin, able to act<br />
as effective antigen presenting cells.<br />
lectins Proteins, usually of plant origin, that can bind<br />
specifically to carbohydrates. Many lectins<br />
are mitogenic (i.e., can induce lymphocytes<br />
to divide), such as Con A and PHA.<br />
leukocyte-adhesion<br />
deficiency 1 (LAD-1)<br />
leukocyte-adhesion<br />
deficiency 2 (LAD-2)<br />
leukocyte functional<br />
antigens (LFA)<br />
An immune deficiency in which the<br />
adhesion molecule β2-integrin is not<br />
expressed.<br />
An immune deficiency in which fucosyl<br />
sugars (ligands to selectins) are not<br />
produced.<br />
Cell adhesion molecules initially defined<br />
with monoclonal antibodies. LFA-1 is<br />
a β2-integrin, particularly important in<br />
T-cell adhesion to endothelial cells and<br />
antigen-presenting cells. LFA-2 and LFA-<br />
3 are members of the immunoglobulin<br />
superfamily; LFA-3 is now called CD58.<br />
leukotrienes Vasoactive metabolites of arachidonic acid<br />
produced by the action of lipoxygenase,<br />
which promote inflammatory processes<br />
(e.g. chemotaxis, increased vascular<br />
permeability) and are produced by a variety<br />
of cell types including mast cells, basophils<br />
and macrophages.<br />
LFA-1, LFA-2 and LFA-3<br />
(see leukocyte functional<br />
antigens)<br />
Abbrev. for leukocyte functional antigens 1,<br />
2, and 3.<br />
Sigla de deficiência de<br />
adesão leucocitária 1.<br />
Geralmente é mantida<br />
como LAD-2, mas é<br />
aconselhável colocar o<br />
significado na primeira<br />
vez que o termo<br />
aparecer no texto.<br />

Geralmente são<br />
mantidos como LFA-<br />

respectivamente ,<br />
mas é aconselhável<br />
colocar o significado<br />
na primeira vez que<br />
o termo aparecer no<br />
