<p>Neutrophils are extremely motile and express a number of adhesion molecules on their surface which allows them to attach to the walls of capillaries. </p>
<p>Neutrophils are extremely motile and express a number of adhesion molecules on their surface which allows them to attach to the walls of capillaries. </p>
<p>Selection molecules expressed on the surface of neutrophil bind to receptors on the capillary endothelium causing a loose attachment. This allows the neutrophil to “roll” along the surface of capillaries. Stimulation by chemokines causes further attachment between the neutrophils intergrin molecules and associated receptors on the endothelium. Finally signalling molecules or [[Cytokines|cytokines]] such as tumour necrosis factors (TNF) and interleukin 1 (Il-1) cause the expression of inter-cellular adhesion molecule 1 (ICAM-1) and vascular cell adhesion molecule 1 (VCAM-1) on the neutrophil which causes firm attachment. </p>
