Step 2. Now that the cells are at the site of infection, they need to migrate to the specific area. We increased heart rate to get the cells to the area (by pumping the heart faster, more white blood cells will be able to get to the site of infection faster through the vasculature). How do cells get out of the vessels? Step 3. The cells that were initially infected are releasing immune chemicals called chemokines. These specialized immune chemicals are designed to create a trail for white blood cells to follow. The greatest concentration of these chemokines are at the site of infection and the concentration tapers.off as the molecules move to the vessels. Using this information, how do you think white blood cells move to the site of infection? Step 4. Once the cells have reached the site of infection, they begin to perform their specific effector function. What is the effector function of these cells?
