Objectives Immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) is an autoimmune disease characterised by impaired platelet production and increased platelet destruction. However, the involvement of neutrophils in ITP is yet to be explored.

SummaryNeutrophils play an important role in cancer. This does not only relate to the well‐established prognostic value of the presence of neutrophils, either in the blood or in tumor tissue, in the context of cancer progression or for the monitoring of therapy, but also to their active role in the progression of cancer.

Visceral leishmaniasis patients display altered composition and maturity of neutrophils as well as impaired neutrophil effector functions [PDF]
Immunologically, active visceral leishmaniasis (VL) is characterised by profound immunosuppression, severe systemic inflammatory responses and an impaired capacity to control parasite replication.

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 ...

Influence of sex steroids on the viability and CD11b, CD18 and CD47 expression of blood neutrophils from dairy cows in the last month of gestation [PDF]
In the period around parturition, cows experience an increased susceptibility for the development of Escherichia coli mastitis. This increased susceptibility has been correlated with a decreased functionality of neutrophils.

The Role of Neutrophils and Neutrophil Elastase in Pneumococcal Pneumonia [PDF]
Streptococcus pneumoniae, also known as pneumococcus, is a Gram-positive diplococcus and a major human pathogen. This bacterium is a leading cause of bacterial pneumonia, otitis media, meningitis, and septicemia, and is a major cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. To date, studies onS.

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.

Neutrophils Kill Reactive Oxygen Species-Resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa by Sphingosine
Background/Aims: Cystic fibrosis (CF) is dominated by chronic inflammation and infection of the lung resulting in lung destruction and early death of patients. The lungs of CF patients are characterized by a massive accumulation of neutrophils.

Regulation of neutrophil senescence by microRNAs [PDF]
Neutrophils are rapidly recruited to sites of tissue injury or infection, where they protect against invading pathogens. Neutrophil functions are limited by a process of neutrophil senescence, which renders the cells unable to respond to chemoattractants,
