Cell‐cell interaction is critical for normal T cell development and function. A number of adhesion molecules important in T cell interactions with other cell types have been defined. This paper reviews the role of two adhesion pathways, CD2/LFA‐3 and LFA‐1/ICAM‐1, in T cell interactions with epithelial cells of the thymus and skin. While thymic epithelium‐T cell interactions are mediated by both the LFA‐1/ICAM‐1 pathway and the CD2/LFA‐3 pathway, epidermal‐T cell interactions are mediated primarily by the LFA‐1/ICAM‐1 pathway. Although ICAM‐1 is not expressed in vivo on epidermal keratinocytes in normal skin, ICAM‐1 is expressed by epidermal keratinocytes at the site of T cell infiltration in inflammatory dermatitis. ICAM‐1 is expressed in vivo on thymic epithelium. These antigen independent adhesion molecules play an important role in the cell‐cell interactions associated with T cell differentiation and function.
