The most common predisposing factor for development of the adult respiratory distress syndrome is gramnegative sepsis. Our previous studies have shown that a single infusion of Escherichia coli endotoxin into sheep causes early sequestration of lymphocytes in the lungs' microcirculation. In this report, we examined the effects of endotoxin on sheep lymphocyte adherence to sheep pulmonary microvascular endothelial cells in vitro. Endothelial cells were exposed to endotoxin, and subsequent adherence of 51Cr-Iabeled lymphocytes was measured in a monolayer adhesion assay. Endotoxin enhanced adherence of lymphocytes isolated from blood and caudal mediastinal node (CMN) lymph in a time-and dose-dependent manner. Adherence of CMN lymphocytes increased from a control value of 13.6±1.6% to 29.9±3.1% after 4 h of treatment with 1 pg/mlendotoxin. Both Band T lymphocytes contributed to the increased adherence. Pretreatment of the endothelial cells with cycloheximide revealed that the endotoxin-enhanced adherence was partially dependent upon protein synthesis. Morphologic studies revealed that enhanced adherence was accompanied by a 5-fold increase in migration of lymphocytes between endothelial cells. In contrast to human umbilical vein endothelial cells, antibodies to the known lymphocyte adherence molecules, lymphocyte function-associated antigen (LFA-I), CD-44, and the lymphocyte homing receptor (LECAM-I), were ineffective in blocking adherence to the sheep pulmonary endothelial cells. We conclude that the acute sequestration of lymphocytes in the pulmonary microcirculation of sheep after endotoxin administration is due to increased adhesive properties of the endothelial cells. Our data suggest that this adherence is mediated by as yet undescribed mechanisms that may be unique to pulmonary microvascular endothelium.The adult respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) results from a wide variety of insults to the lung, but the most common predisposing factor is gram-negative sepsis (1). Structural and physiological characteristics of ARDS can be mimicked in sheep given a single infusion of Escherichia coli endotoxin, a component of the gram-negative bacterial cell envelope (2). After endotoxin infusion into sheep, there is sequestration of leukocytes, both neutrophils and lymphocytes, in the microcirculation of the lungs before the onset of pulmonary edema. Although the role of the neutrophil in endotoxin-induced acute lung injury has been extensively in-
