Tether force governs mean stop time below and above the flow optimum. The mean stop times (durations of stops in the time courses of instantaneous velocities like those shown in Fig. 9) of L-selectin-bearing microspheres of 3- or 1-μm radii (a—c) and fixed or unfixed neutrophils (d—f) rolling on sPSGL-1 in the absence or presence of 6% Ficoll (corresponding to viscosity of 1 or 2.6 cP) were plotted against wall shear rate (a and d), wall shear stress (b and e), and tether force (c and f).
