| | Monocyte Adhesion to Activated Aortic Endothelium: Role of L-Selectin and Heparan Sulfate Proteoglycans -- ... |
 | | The role of L-selectin in mediating monocyte primary adhesion was further examined in a parallel flow chamber at a shear stress |  | | Adhesion-blocking mAb studies have previously suggested that an inducible ligand for monocytes is expressed on human umbilical |  | | Additional experiments were performed to examine the contribution of heparan sulfate proteoglycans in mediating primary monocyte |

| | Anti-CD43 Inhibits Monocyte-Endothelial Adhesion in Inflammation and Atherogenesis -- McEvoy et al. 90 (9): 3587 -- ... |
 | | The mechanisms leading to monocyte adhesion and migration through endothelium are not completely defined. |  | | In vitro studies suggest that this multistep model of leukocyte-EC adhesion is relevant for monocyte interactions as well; the interaction of human monocytes under flow with interleukin-4 (IL-4)-stimulated human umbilical vein endothelial cells requires sequential contributions of L-selectin, |  | | Monocytes are often described as the orchestrators of the inflammatory response and clearly play a key role in multiple settings of acute and chronic inflammation. |

| | Monocyte Disorders |
 | | Produced in a child's bone marrow, monocytes dispose of dead or damaged tissue and regulate the body's immune response to foreign material. |  | | A reduction in the number of monocytes may be caused by disorders of the immune system, hereditary disease or cancer. |  | | Treatment for monocyte disorders vary based on the cause. |

| | Monocyte - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Monocytes are responsible for phagocytosis (ingestion) of foreign substances in the body. |  | | Monocytosis is the state of excess monocytes in the peripheral blood. |  | | A monocyte is a leukocyte, part of the human body's immune system that protect against blood-borne pathogens and move quickly to sites of infection in the tissues. |

 | | Monocytes are large mononuclear phagocytes of the peripheral blood. |  | | Monocytes vary considerably, ranging in size from10 to 30 µm in diameter. |  | | The cytoplasm is abundant and blue gray with many fine azurophilic granules, giving a ground glass appearance. |

 | | As a monocyte or macrophage, these cells are phagocytic and defend the body against viruses and bacteria. |  | | These cells leave the blood stream (diapedesis) to become macrophages. |  | | The background cells in this micrograph are erythrocytes (red blood cells). |
