| Abstract | Changes in the rheological properties of neutrophils may influence flow in microvessels that are cooled below normal body temperature. We investigated the effects of temperature on the mechanical and adhesive properties of human neutrophils by measuring transit times for individual cells flowing through 8-µm-pores in filters, and adhesion to P-selectin for cells perfused over a monolayer of activated platelets. Pore transit time increased as temperature was decreased from 37°C to 0°C. Upon rapid cooling, there was an instantaneous increase attributable to changes in aqueous viscosity. Interestingly, at 10°C specifically, there was an additional increase in transit time, which was abolished by the inhibitor of actin polymerization, cytochalasin B. This meant that by 15 min, transit time at 10°C was greater than at 0°C. Most adherent cells on P-selectin were rolling, rather than stationary, at 10, 26 or 37°C. The velocity of rolling slowed with decreasing temperature. The total number of adherent cells decreased with increasing wall shear rate, but for a given shear rate there was relatively little effect of temperature on attachment. However, when adhesion at 10, 26 or 37°C was compared at equal shear stress (taking into account fluid viscosity), adhesion was greatest at 10°C. Measurements of immunofluorescence showed that exposure to 10°C gradually increased expression of β2-integrin CD11b/CD18, but this did not cause transformation to stationary adhesion with time in the flow assay. Thus, neutrophils show an anomalous rheological response around 10°C, which may impair local microcirculation in the cold. On rewarming, "activated" cells might inhibit recovery or become released into the systemic circulation. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
