Collapse of multiple data curves by proper scaling of the contributions by three transport mechanisms. When the normalized adhesion probabilities per distance for microspheres (a) and neutrophils (b), p_ad/(m_rm_lr), were plotted vs. $r\stackrel{.}{\gamma }(1+C_1∕D_{\mathrm{s}})$, a variable that combines sphere transport mechanisms for both relative sliding and Brownian motion, the ranges of all curves were aligned. When the p_ad/(m_rm_lr) values were further multiplied by (1/D_m - C₂) to obtain a variable that combines molecular diffusion and molecular docking, all 12 microsphere curves collapsed into a single curve (c). Similarly, all four neutrophil curves collapsed into a single curve (d). Reproduced from Yago et al.²¹
