Neutrophil Extracellular Traps and Its Implications in Inflammation: An Overview

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2017
In addition to physical barriers, neutrophils are considered a part of the first line of immune defense. They can be found in the bloodstream, with a lifespan of 6–8 h, and in tissue, where they can last up to 7 days.

Increased gene copy number of DEFA1/DEFA3 worsens sepsis by inducing endothelial pyroptosis. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Sepsis claims an estimated 30 million episodes and 6 million deaths per year, and treatment options are rather limited. Human neutrophil peptides 1-3 (HNP1-3) are the most abundant neutrophil granule proteins but their neutrophil content varies because ...

Single‐Cell RNA Seq in Sydenham Chorea Shows B Cell HLA‐DR/DQ Upregulation and Plasma Cell Proteasomal Activation

open access: yesAnnals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The pathogenesis of Sydenham chorea remains unclear. We report a 10‐year‐old girl presenting with subacute chorea and mild carditis following Streptococcal throat infection. Single‐cell RNA sequencing on 30,794 peripheral immune cells from the patient and two sex‐matched controls revealed nine immune cell clusters.

Preoperative neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio and outcome from coronary artery bypass grafting [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Background: An elevated preoperative white blood cell count has been associated with a worse outcome after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). Leukocyte subtypes, and particularly the neutrophil-lymphocyte (N/L) ratio, may however, convey superior ...

Intravascular tissue factor initiates coagulation via circulating microvesicles and platelets [PDF]

open access: yes, 2003
Although tissue factor (TF), the principial initiator of physiological coagulation and pathological thrombosis, has recently been proposed to be present in human blood, the functional significance and location of the intravascular TF is unknown.

Current Status of Defensins and Their Role in Innate and Adaptive Immunity [PDF]

open access: yes, 2002
Naturally occurring antimicrobial cationic polypeptides play a major role in innate and adaptive immunity. These polypeptides are found to be either linear and unstructured or structured through disulfide bonds.

The Neutrophil Life Cycle

open access: yesTrends in Immunology, 2019
Neutrophils are recognized as an essential part of the innate immune response, but an active debate still exists regarding the life cycle of these cells. Neutrophils first differentiate in the bone marrow through progenitor intermediaries before entering the blood, in a process that gauges the extramedullary pool size.
