Figure 3. Both TNF-α receptors are critical for TNF-α–induced leukocyte rolling. (A) Representative leukocyte rolling profile following mouse TNF-α treatment of WT (○), p75−/− (▪), p55−/− (▴), and D−/− (□) mice. One hour after surgery, TNF-α (2 ng/mL in 25 μL) was applied directly to a 25-mm2 area of the cremaster muscle flap. Number of rolling leukocytes in a 100-μm viewing segment was counted in a time window of 2 minutes. Control counts were obtained prior to TNF-α application. (B) Average fold change in early-phase and late-phase rolling leukocytes upon TNF-α treatment of WT (▪), p75−/− (⊡), p55−/− (▧), and D−/− (⊡) mice. Group size equals 4, error bars represent standard deviations (SD), the asterisk indicates statistical significance (P < .05). Leukocyte flux was calculated as described in “Materials and methods” and as follows: (i) Early peak: WT = 6.1 min−1 ± 1.9 min−1, p55−/−= 3.3 min−1 ± 0.6 min−1, p75−/−= 3.9 min−1 ± 1.5 min−1; (ii) Late peak: WT = 5.3 min−1 ± 0.8 min−1, p55−/−= 2.2 min−1 ± 0.4 min−1, p75−/−= 3.1 min−1 ± 1.1 min−1. Error bars indicate SD.
