Describe the cell-surface events leading to neutrphil movement to site of infection.

Answer:

Neutrophils help fight infections because they ingest microorganisms and secrete enzymes that destroy them. A neutrophil is a type of white blood cell, a type of granulocyte and a type of phagocyte.

Explanation:

Neutrophils display adhesion glycoproteins on their surface to bind endothelial and subendothelial structures. They move randomly until they find a damaged site. Unless neutrophils are activated, endothelial cells do not tend to adhere. When inflammation mediators (IL-1, FNT) activate endothelial cells, they express P-selectin and E-selectin on the surface. The expression of glycoproteins and L-selectin cause the initial adhesion of the non-stimulated neutrophil to the activated endothelium, slowing it down by rolling it over the endothelium. Activated endothelial cells, opsonized particles, immune complexes, FEC-G, FEC-GM and chemoattractants produce factors that stimulate neutrophil activation. Expressing β2 integrin (endothelium adhesion molecule) Neutrophils expand and form pseudopods. Neutrophil activation also promotes degranulation, superoxide generation, and arachidonate metabolite production.

So there is something known as CAS-9 or Crispr.  Its actually been getting a lot of attention lately because of how it works and its potential uses.

When we look at DNA, it must be very precise.  One messup and it can cause huge problems.

If an organism was to contract a virus, the virus would try and make its own DNA to infect other cells.

However, if the organism somehow beats the virus, it stores a copy of the DNA structure of that virus in Crispr.

CAS-9 will then search through every strand of DNA and will get rid of any DNA that exactly matches that one piece they have copied.

This answer goes in depth buts it very interesting actually and it is gaining lots of attention.
