Neutrophil emigration during an inflammatory response is mediated through interactions between adhesion molecules on endothelial cells and neutrophils. P-Selectin mediates rolling or slowing of neutrophils, while intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) contributes to the firm adhesion and emigration of neutrophils. Removing the function of either molecule partially prevents neutrophil emigration. To analyze further the role of P-selectin and ICAM-1, we have generated a line of mice with mutations in both of these molecules. While mice with either mutation alone show a 60-70% reduction in acute neutrophil emigration into the peritoneum during Streptococcus pneumoniae-induced peritonitis, double mutant mice show a complete loss of neutrophil emigration. In contrast, neutrophil emigration into the alveolar spaces during acute S. pneumoniae-induced pneumonia is normal in double mutant mice. These data demonstrate organ-specific differences, since emigration into the peritoneum requires both adhesion molecules while emigration into the lung requires neither. In the peritoneum, P-selectin-independent and ICAM-1-independent adhesive mechanisms permit reduced emigration when one of these molecules is deficient, but P-selectin-independent mechanisms cannot lead to ICAM-1-independent firm adhesion and emigration.

P-selectin/ICAM-1 double mutant mice: acute emigration of neutrophils into the peritoneum is completely absent but is normal into pulmonary alveoli.
