In leukocyte adhesion deficiency there is a problem with phagocyte adhesion. why is there not a problem with B and T cell adhesion as well?

i think the reason why lymphocytes are not involved in the leucocyte adhesion deficiency prob is cos in bacterial infection it is the PMN, monocytes and Macrophages that play a role in phagocytosis. b cells are called to play in antibody production and t cells in viral lesions. i believe lymphocytes remain in the blood stream.

tolito is right.
B cells produce antobodies and T cells also produce cytokines. Actual players in phagocytosis are Macrophages & PMN.
so only they Manifest this lack of adhesion molecules.
