Abstract The selectins along with very late antigen-4 and CD44 have been implicated in mediating leukocyte rolling interactions that lead to joint recruitment and inflammation during the pathogenesis of rheumatoid arthritis. Previously we showed that P-selectin deficiency in mice resulted in accelerated onset of joint inflammation in the murine collagen-immunized arthritis model. Here we report that mice deficient either in E-selectin or in E-selectin and P-selectin E P-selectin mutant also exhibit accelerated .
