Platelets are essential for leukocyte recruitment in allergic inflammationSimon C Pitchford
Sackler Institute of Pulmonary Pharmacology, GKT School of Biomedical Sciences, King's College London, London
J Allergy Clin Immunol 112:109-18. 2003..CONCLUSION: These results suggest that platelet participation in cell recruitment occurs at the level of the circulation and might involve the priming of leukocytes for subsequent adhesion and transmigration into tissues...
