Abstract
⺠HCELL, a sialofucosylated glycoform of CD44, is the most potent E-/L-selectin ligand on human cells. ⺠Metastasis is facilitated by selectin-mediated interactions. ⺠E-Selectin facilitates metastasis to the liver, lungs and bone marrow. ⺠HCELL is the principal protein scaffold for E-selectin ligands on cancer cells. ⺠HCELL mediates interaction between cancer cells and endothelial cells, leukocytes and platelets.
