Background: Preterm newborn infants are at risk of developing chronic inflammation and tissue injury in their lungs and CNS due to prolonged and exaggerated accumulation of leukocytes. Aim: To study ...
During trans-endothelial migration (TEM), leukocytes use adhesion receptors such as intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM1) to adhere to the endothelium. In response to this interaction, the ...
The under-agarose leukocyte-migration-inhibition (LMI) assay for the evaluation of cell-mediated immunity (CMI) was developed for use in chickens. A significant CMI response was demonstrated in ...
The movement of leukocytes across various substrates has been observed by scientists for a number of years. However, many of the precise molecular mechanisms have eluded investigators. Now, ...
This report deals with the development of a simple test for the detection of antileukocyte antibodies, the prevalence and significance of antileukocyte antibodies in a large group of leukopenic ...
Human white blood cells, known as leukocytes, swim using a newly described mechanism called molecular paddling, researchers report in the September 15th issue of Biophysical Journal. This ...
