Abstract excerpt
Leukocyte recruitment to sites of inflammation requires the functions of selectins and integrins. P-selectin null (CD62P-/-) mice show a mild and CD18 null (CD18-/-) mice a more severe neutrophil recruitment defect in some inflammatory models. To investigate the possible cooperative interactions between CD18 integrins and P-selectin in mediating neutrophil recruitment, we generated CD18-/-CD62P-/- double null...
