Popis: Montelukast (MLK) is a cysteinyl leukotriene receptor-1 (cysLT1R) antagonist with inhibitory effects on eosinophils, key proinflammatory cells in asthma. We assessed the effect of MLK on resting and GM-CSF-stimulated eosinophil adhesion to recombinant human (rh)VCAM-1 at different flow rates using our novel microflow system. At 1 or 2 dyn cm−2, shear-stress unstimulated eosinophils tethered immediately to rhVCAM-1, “rolled” along part of the channel until they tethered, or rolled without tethering. At flow rates greater than 2 dyn cm−2, adherent eosinophils began to be displaced from rhVCAM-1. MLK (10 nM and 100 nM) gave partial (∼40%) but significant (P
