Q

Steps involved in margination of leucocytes

A
  1. Microbes in tissue
  2. Tissue resident macrophages bind PAMPs/DAMPs -> release IL1, IL6, TNFs -> activate endothelial cells

  4. Selectins binds glycosylated molecules (PSGL-1, Sialyl-Lewis X) for transient low affinity binding -> Hausse affinity for integrins
  5. Integrin high affinity state (ICAM-1) = stable adhesion
  6. Migration through endothelium via CD31 (PECAM-1)
