Neutrophils in Psoriasis [PDF]
Neutrophils are the most abundant innate immune cells. The pathogenic roles of neutrophils are related to chronic inflammation and autoimmune diseases. Psoriasis is a chronic systemic inflammatory disease affecting ~2–3% of the world population.

Prefixation of Neutrophils for Neutrophil Antibody Testing [PDF]
The granulocyte immunofluorescence test based on flow cytometry is still the most commonly used method for detecting antineutrophil antibodies. We questioned whether neutrophil prefixation is necessary for this test.Three pretreatment methods using paraformaldehyde were compared: unfixed, short-fixed (3 minutes 40 seconds), and long-fixed (10 minutes ...

Salmonella transiently reside in luminal neutrophils in the inflamed gut. [PDF]
Enteric pathogens need to grow efficiently in the gut lumen in order to cause disease and ensure transmission. The interior of the gut forms a complex environment comprising the mucosal surface area and the inner gut lumen with epithelial cell debris and

Gap-junctional coupling between neutrophils and endothelial cells [PDF]
Communication between leukocytes and endothelial cells is crucial for inflammatory reactions. Paracrine cross-talk and outside-in signaling (via adhesion molecules) have been characterized as communication pathways to date.

Molsidomine inhibits the chemoattractant-induced respiratory burst in human neutrophils via a no-independent mechanism [PDF]
3-Morpholino-sydnonimine (SIN-1) is a NO-releasing compound which mimics the effects of cGMP through activation of soluble guanylyl cyclase. Its prodrug, molsidomine (SIN-10), does not release NO but does modulate various cell functions.

Neutrophilic thrombophagocytosis
Platelets phagocytosed by neutrophils is a rare morphological finding on peripheral blood films. It is rarely an EDTA-dependent artifact but mainly caused by an active vascular inflammation process. Here is reported an unexpected observation of neutrophilic thrombophagocytosis, in the context of a disseminated Streptococcus pneumoniae infection.
