The female reproductive and immune systems are integrally linked with respect to shared cellular and molecular mediators. Cell adhesion molecules (CAMs) involved in leukocyte-endothelial interactions, e.g. intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1), vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1) and E-selectin, are regulated by sex steroids when expressed by cultured endothelium, while uterine and ovarian CAM expression appears to be cyclically or gonadotrophin-regulated.
