What is the role of monocyte-derived macrophages in inducing the inflammatory response?
What is the role of monocyte-derived macrophages in inducing the inflammatory response?
Monocyte-derived macrophages help in inducing the inflammatory response.
How do neutrophils migrate to sites of infection?
How do neutrophils migrate to sites of infection?
Neutrophils leave the blood and migrate to sites of infection in a multi-step process involving adhesive interactions that are regulated by macrophage-derived cytokines and chemokines.
What triggers the activation of integrin LFA-1 on neutrophils during migration?
What triggers the activation of integrin LFA-1 on neutrophils during migration?
Binding of a chemokine such as CXCL8 to its receptor triggers the activation of integrin LFA-1 on neutrophils.
