Human umbilical vein endothelial cells have recently been shown to respond to C5a with
increases in intracellular Ca2+, production of D-myo-inositol 1, 4, 5-triphosphate and …

The effect of flow on the adhesion of polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNL) to vascular
endothelium was investigated using a parallel plate chamber with a well-defined flow field …

Highly purified human thrombin stimulates the adherence of polymorphonuclear leukocytes
(PMNs) to vascular endothelial cells (EC). When Indium-labeled PMNs were incubated with …

The CD11/CD18 family of glycoproteins has been identified as a mediator of a number of
adhesive interactions crucial to inflammatory responses. Using a monoclonal antibody …

In an attempt to understand the regulatory mechanisms governing passage of neutrophils
