D THE PROCESS OF DIAPEDESIS
CD31 is expressed on platelets and most leukocytes but is also constitutively present on endothelial cells. On cultured endothelial cells it is concentrated at cell–cell junctions (210, 211).
Do lymphocytes do diapedesis?
Transmigration, or diapedesis, is the process by which T lymphocytes migrate across venular blood vessel walls to enter various tissues and organs.
Can RBC perform diapedesis?
In the normal spleen, mature red blood cells and blood cells in the latest stages of maturation can be seen in diapedesis. The predomi- nant form of transmural migration is intercellular.
