 | | Although the role of VCAM-1, CS-1, or Type I collagen were not tested in the study, the authors raise relevant questions regarding the identity of the counterligands and postulate that CD29 mediate neutrophil recruitment into the airspaces by facilitating neutrophil interactions with fibroblasts and the components of the extracellular matrix located within the pulmonary interstitium. | | | This experiment shows that LPS-stimulated neutrophil migration into alveolar airspaces is CD18-dependent, whereas KC-stimulated neutrophil migration requires a different mechanism. | | | Physiological neutrophil sequestration in the lung: visual evidence for localization in capillaries. |

| | British Journal of Biomedical Science: Effects of antimicrobial drugs on human neutrophil-microbe interactions |
| | The penetration of antimicrobial drugs into neutrophils and subsequent intracellular activity is discussed and contrasted with observations obtained using macrophages. | | | The review is restricted to those studies that used human neutrophils, clinically achievable drug concentrations, and were well designed. | | | Here, we consider the effects of antimicrobial drugs on human polymorphonuclear neutrophils and microbes that affect human neutrophil-microbe interaction. |

| | Neutrophil in Capillary |
| | A surface tension boundary is applied to the neutrophil and contact is enforced between its boundaries and the capillary walls. | | | The transit time of the neutrophil depends on its deformability, surface tension, pressure drop across the capillary, and the geometry of the capillary. | | | The capillary has a constriction with a diameter smaller than that of the neutrophil and a pressure difference exists between both ends of the capillary, which is the driving force responsible for the motion of the neutrophil. |

| | Neutrophil granulocyte - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | The first phagocyte a pathogen is likely to encounter is a neutrophil. | | | They are disorders of phagocytosis or deficiencies in the respiratory burst (as in chronic granulomatous disease, a rare immune deficiency). | | | Neutrophil granulocytes, generally referred to as neutrophils, are a class of white blood cells and are part of the immune system. |

| | Regulatory role of extracellular matrix proteins in neutrophil respiratory burst during aging. |
| | Such an effect was not associated to an age-related imbalance of stimulant-triggered neutrophil adhesiveness to FN, even though a larger contribution of CD18-dependent versus CD18-independent pathways was observed in old as compared to young individuals. | | | This effect appears to be the result of an active process, since neutrophils from either group of subjects adhered to LM-coated surfaces and LM inhibited in a dose-dependent manner the FN-priming effect on neutrophil O(2)(-) production. | | | In contrast, although neutrophil stimulation with tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha, granulocyte macrophage-colony stimulating factor (GM-CSF), fMLP or phorbol myristate acetate (PMA) gave rise to a massive and prolonged FN-primed O(2)(-) release, a significant impairment of oxidative response occurred in the aged group as a result of GM-CSF or fMLP cell challenge. |

| | Like all the cells of the immune system, neutrophils are produced in the bone marrow and circulate in the bloodstream. | | | Neutrophils perform their function partially through phagocytosis, a process by which they "eat" other cells and foreign substances. | | | Neutrophils form a primary defense against bacterial infection. |

| | This p50-dependent pathway for neutrophil accumulation can be overcome by bacterial products other than LPS and does not require IL-6. | | | Neutrophils were responsive to the chemokine KC in the peripheral blood of p50-deficient mice with or without LPS-induced pulmonary inflammation. | | | induced neutrophil accumulation which was not decreased by p50 deficiency, demonstrating that bacterial growth and metabolism were not responsible for the different responses to bacteria and LPS. |

| | Neutrophil |
| | Neutrophils, or neutrophil polymorphonuclear leucocytes, respond to chemotactic signals and leave capillaries by a complex process, involving margination (flowing nearer to the endothelial lining of blood vessels), rolling and then attaching (margination), following which they emigrate between the endothelial cells (extravasation, or diapedesis). | | | They include substances produced by micro-organisms, and by the cells participating in the inflammatory process. | | | Use the BACK button of the browser to return to the previous page. |
