: Key players in the adaptive immune system, further divided into T cells (cell-mediated immunity) and B cells (antibody production). Function and Mechanism
: They move from the bloodstream into tissues via the lymphatic vasculature using chemokine-directed "amoeboid movement".
: Specific cell adhesion molecules (CAMs) allow leucocytes to stick to vascular endothelial cells, a process essential for reaching the site of an injury or infection.
