General Information
Term leukocyte tethering or rolling ID (Ontology) GO:0050901 (Gene Ontology)
Definition Transient adhesive interactions between leukocytes and endothelial cells lining blood vessels. Carbohydrates on circulating leukocytes bind selectins on the vessel wall causing the leukocytes to slow down and roll along the inner surface of the vessel wall. During this rolling motion, transitory bonds are formed and broken between selectins and their ligands. Typically the first step in cellular extravasation (the movement of leukocytes out of the circulatory system, towards the site of tissue damage or infection).[ ISBN:0781735149 PubMed:14680625 PubMed:14708592 PubMed:7507411 PubMed:8600538 ]
