['Neutrophil recruitment to the inflammatory sites is regulated by a variety of adhesion molecules including β2 integrins. The dependency of neutrophil recruitment on β2 integrins is variable in different tissues, but has not yet been verified in the cutaneous passive reverse Arthus reaction. We examined this question and also evaluated the impact of isoflurane on neutrophil recruitment to the skin because we previously showed in vitro that isoflurane binds and inhibits β2 integrins.', 'The dependency on β2 integrins in neutrophil recruitment to the skin in the Arthus reaction was examined using αL, αM and β2 knockout mice. Then, we evaluated the effect of isoflurane on neutrophil recruitment to the skin. In addition, the effects of isoflurane on neutrophil binding to intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1), one of the β2 integrin ligands, were studied in vitro using cell adhesion assays.', 'Neutrophil recruitment to the skin in the Arthus reaction model was totally dependent on β2 integrins, as β2 knockout mice completely abolished it. However, the defect of only one of the β2 integrins was not sufficient to abolish neutrophil recruitment. Isoflurane reduced neutrophil recruitment to the skin by approximately 90\xa0%. Also, isoflurane inhibited neutrophil adhesion to β2 integrin ligand ICAM-1.'] Does isoflurane inhibit neutrophil recruitment in the cutaneous Arthus reaction model?
