The role of the host—Neutrophil biology
Abstract Neutrophilic polymorphonuclear leukocytes (neutrophils) are myeloid cells packed with lysosomal granules (hence also called granulocytes) that contain a formidable antimicrobial arsenal. They are terminally differentiated cells that play a critical role in acute and chronic inflammation, as well as in the resolution of inflammation and wound ...

Antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (ANCA)
Antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (ANCA) are a sensitive and specific marker for ANCA-associated systemic vasculitis. Using indirect immunofluorescence on ethanol-fixed neutrophils, two major fluoroscopic patterns can be recognised: a diffuse cytoplasmic staining (C-ANCA), and a perinuclear/nuclear staining (P-ANCA).

Antineutrophil cytoplasm antibodies and vasculitis [PDF]
Systemic vasculitis is a rare condition and diagnosis is often difficult. Any organ system can be affected and patients can present with an insidiously progressive illness, a remitting/relapsing pattern, or acute multisystem failure. The early institution of aggressive and potentially toxic immunosuppression may be necessary to minimise permanent organ
