Highlights<br />

Figure 1: Treatment with quercetin (1) inhibits neutrophil recruitment in vivo, induced by different<br />

stimuli.<br />

Furthermore, quercetin also inhibited the chemoattraction of human neutrophils induced by CXCL-<br />

8, LTB4 and fMLP in a Boyden chamber (Fig 2). In vitro treatment with quercetin did not affect<br />

human neutrophil surface expression of CXCR1, CXCR2, BLT1, or FLPR1, but rather reduced actin<br />

Polymerization (Fig.3).<br />
