<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 such as TNF and Il-1 cause the expression of ICAM-1 (inter-cellular adhesion molecule-1) and VCAM-1 (Vascular Cell adhesion molecule) on the neutrophil which causes firm attachment. </p> | <p>Selection molecules expressed on the surface of neutrophil bind to receptors on the capillary endothelium causing a loose attachment.
