Abstract
Summary: Additionally, the effects of cholesterol depletion and enrichment on tether extraction from endothelial cells and neutrophils are quantified. The importance of cholesterol in regulating membrane fluidity and adhesion to the underlying cytoskeleton is elucidated. Overall, this dissertation substantially improves the current understanding of the regulation of leukocyte rolling by introducing the endothelial cell tether into the broader picture.
