Cell-cell adhesion is essential for many immunological functions1–4. The LFA-1 molecule, a member of a superfamily of adhesion molecules, participates in adhesion which is critical to the function of each of the three major subsets of leukocytes: lymphocytes, monocytes and granulocytes5. Putative LFA-1 ligands have been identified functionally in different laboratories using three different monoclonal antibodies that inhibit LFA-1-mediated leukocyte adhesion in particular model systems; however, there may be more than one LFA-1 ligand6–8. We have directly compared the three relevant monoclonal antibodies, and show that each binds to the same molecule, intercellular-adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1). Most important, B, T and myeloid cells adhere specifically to purified ICAM-1-coated surfaces; such adhesion has distinctive requirements for Mg2+and Ca2+. This constitutes biochemical evidence that ICAM-1 functions as a ligand for LFA-1-dependent adhesion by a variety of leukocytes.
