As part of your innate immune response, neutrophils are one of the first WBCs to arrive on the scene when you get a bacterial infection. Neutrophils are classified as both granulocytes and phagocytes.

As it succumbs, the neutrophil releases its DNA, histones, and granule proteins, leaving behind a mesh-like structure, a net.

These yellow spheres are Streptococcus pyogenese bacteria bound to a human neutrophil – a key part of the immune system. Streptococcus pyogenese is the bacterium that causes strep throat in humans.

Surprisingly, neutrophils secreted IL-10 in response to bacterial stimulation. Next, the authors addressed the signalling pathways involved in neutrophil induction of IL-10. Using gene-deficient ...

In the gif below you can see a white blood cell called a neutrophil chase down a Staphylococcus aureus bacterium. The circular cells that the white blood cell is moving through are red blood cells.

Bacterial contact with the platelets is a ... Beside PMP release, further effects of platelets on neutrophil stimulation, T- and B-cell activation and maturation of dendritic cells were ...

Mast cells lure and trap other immune cells during allergic reactions, using their compounds to increase inflammation in a process dubbed nexocytosis ...

Studies suggest that the BBB responds to bacterial encounter with a core gene activation program orchestrated to promote the targeted recruitment and activation of neutrophils. Continued exposure ...

At a recent Society for Leukocyte Biology meeting, three Jacobs School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences researchers — two doctoral students and a faculty member, all from the Department of ...

As it succumbs, the neutrophil releases its DNA, histones, and granule proteins, leaving behind a mesh-like structure, a net. E. coli and other bacteria become entrapped just as insects are snared ...
