The multistep process of leukocyte migration through blood vessels is shown here for neutrophils. The leukocytes first roll; then become activated and adhere to the endothelium; and then transmigrate across the endothelium, pierce the basement membrane, and migrate toward chemoattractants emanating from the source of injury. Different molecules play predominant roles in different steps of this process: selectins in rolling; chemokines (usually displayed bound to proteo- glycans on endothelium) in activating the neutrophils to increase the avidity of integrins; integrins in firm adhesion; and CD31 (PECAM-1) in transmigration. ICAM-1, Intercellular adhesion molecule 1; IL-1, interleukin 1; PECAM-1 (CD31), platelet endothelial cell adhesion molecule-1; TNF, tumor necrosis factor.

All the selectins, integrins, and their ligands are also named according to the CD nomenclature, but their CD numbers are not shown for simplicity.

(A) Phagocytosis of a particle (e.g., a bacte- rium) involves binding to receptors on the leukocyte membrane, engulfment, and fusion of the phagocytic vacuoles with lysosomes. This is followed by destruction of ingested particles within the phagolysosomes by lysosomal enzymes and by reactive oxygen and nitrogen species. (B) In activated phagocytes, cytoplasmic components of the phagocyte oxidase enzyme assemble in the membrane of the phagosome to form the –. active enzyme, which catalyzes the conversion of oxygen into superoxide (O ) and H O. Myeloperoxidase, 2 2 2. present in the granules of neutrophils, converts H O to hypochlorite (OCl ). In the presence of metals such 2 2. ++ as Fe , H O can also be converted to highly reactive hydroxyl radicals (OH ). (C) Microbicidal reactive oxy- 2 2 gen species (ROS) and nitric oxide (NO) kill ingested microbes.
