Skin-homing T cells are defined by the expression of the cutaneous lymphocyte-associated antigen (CLA) which enables the cells to selectively bind to vascular endothelial E-selectin close to sites of cutaneous inflammation, an initial step in the effective extravasation from blood into the inflamed tissue. Essentially all CLA on T cells decorates the backbone of the P-selectin glycoprotein ligand-1 (PSGL-1). In this study we show that human peripheral blood B cells (PBBC) and tonsillar B cells (TBC) do not display PSGL-1 in fluorescence-activated cell sorter analysis using different murine monoclonal antibodies and polyclonal rabbit anti-PSGL-1 antiserum. A significant population of TBC, however, expresses a HECA-452-reactive epitope. These cells represent nonactivated IgM(+)/IgG(-) mature B lymphocytes. Up to 50% of the TBC in a given preparation strongly bind to E- and up to 79% to P-selectin. The shear stress resistance in a parallel-plate flow chamber system was high. Neuraminidase treatment of TBC totally and O-sialoglycoprotein endopeptidase partially diminished HECA-452 reactivity and reduced E- but not P-selectin ligand activities. Mocarhagin had no effect in the assays. The data suggest a different ligand for P-selectin and a distinct glycoprotein carrier for the E-selectin ligand as compared to T cells or other leukocytes. Adhesion to P-selectin, however, still required sulfation of the ligand for function. Western blots of TBC cell lysates detected a >240-kD HECA-452-reactive material that was resistant to reducing conditions. Anti-PSGL-1 did not reveal immunoreactive material in these cell lysates. B cell activation did neither significantly change HECA positivity nor induce PSGL-1 expression. Cultured, activated TBC, however, maintained expression of the integrin alpha4beta7. Human peripheral blood B cells had similar cell surface characteristics to TBC. Our observations suggest that several adhesion molecules may be involved in B cell homing which include CLA, the P-selectin ligand, and structures such as alpha4beta7.
