Abstract:The processes of activation, extravasation, and migration of immune cells to a site are early and essential steps in the induction of an acute inflammatory response. These events are part of the inflammatory cascade which involves multiple regulatory steps. Using a murine air-pouch model of inflammation with LPS as an inflammation inducer we demonstrate that isoenzymes of the neuraminidase family (NEU1, 3, and 4) play essential roles in this process acting as positive or negative regulators of leukocyte infilt… Show more
