Question
Chapter 23.5, Problem 1TQ
Summary Introduction
To review:
The consequences of neutrophils lacking integrin.
Introduction:
The process of inflammation is spontaneous recruitment of innate immune system cells to the site of infection. This process is aided by various chemicals that help to increase the blood flow and allow the cells to reach the infection site. The circulatory system and key molecules present on the surface of the membrane assist this process. Any defect in this mechanism may lead to serious health consequences.
