Mediates naive CD4+ T cell migration into lymph nodes


ANS: B.  L-selectin is expressed abundantly on naive T cells, but not effector T cells, and binds to peripheral lymph node addressin (PNAd) on high endothelial venules in lymph nodes. This adhesive interaction is required for naive T cell migration from blood into lymph nodes, a first step in the initiation of cell-mediated immune responses.
