Macrophages, not neutrophils, infiltrate skeletal muscle in mice deficient in P/E selectins after mechanical reloading.

Discusses the macrophage migration into the skeletal muscle of mice deficient in P/E selectins. Morphology of muscles deficient in P/E selectins; Sequence and time course of inflammatory cell invasion; Changes in the concentration of neutrophils and macrophages in soleus muscle; Peripheral blood counts; Association of mechanical stress and macrophage survival.
