Part of the book series: Advances in Experimental Medicine and Biology ((AEMB,volume 351))

Abstract

Leukocyte infiltration into the lesion is a hallmark of inflammatory reactions to tissue injuries caused by various conditions including trauma, invasion of foreign particles, ischemia-reperfusion syndrome, malignant diseases, and autoimmune diseases. The types of infiltrating leukocytes depend on the kind, degree, and timing of tissue injuries. Although several leukocyte chemotactic factors including C5a, leukotriene B4 have long been identified, these factors have chemotactic activities for any kind of leukocytes, suggesting the existence of cell type-specific leukocyte chemotactic factors.
