The article presents information on the abstracts of the Annual Meeting of the British Society for Allergy and Clinical Immunology that was held at the East Midlands Conference Centre, Nottingham in July 1997. In the paper "T-Lymphocyte Adhesion to Nasal Polyp Endothelium," by F.A. Symon, C.A. McNulty and A.J. Wardlaw, the authors said that adhesion molecules have been widely implicated in the tissue specific homing of memory T-cells to the site at which they first encountered antigen. Despite being a major tertiary organ in lymphocyte re-circulation and a prime site for encountering airborne allergens, a homing adhesion receptor for the lung has yet to be defined.
