Mechanisms involved in leukocyte transendothelial migration : studies of the role of hydrogen peroxide and the ecto-5'-nucleotidase, CD73

During inflammation, leukocytes are recruited from blood vessels into the site of injury or infection. A key event in this process is transendothelial migration (TEM), a multi-step process involving various adhesion molecules on both leukocytes and endothelial cells. Oxidative stress has been linked...
