Polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMNs) are usually thought of as the leukocyte population
involved in acute inflammatory responses, acting as a first line of defense against invading …

Polymorphonuclear neutrophils, besides their involvement in primary defense against
infections–mainly through phagocytosis, generation of toxic molecules, release of enzymes …

Neutrophils are known to play an important role in inflammatory responses by virtue of their
ability to perform a series of effector functions that collectively represent a major mechanism …

Publisher Summary This chapter summarizes the recent knowledge on the production of
cytokines by neutrophils in vitro and in vivo—particularly molecular regulation and other …

Polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMNs) and monocyte/macrophages (MMs) are
professional phagocytic cells that are able to phagocytose and destroy infectious agents …

The role of neutrophils in the immune response has long been regarded as mainly
phagocytic, but recent publications have indicated the production of several cytokines by …

Polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMN) are the most abundant leukocytes, comprising about
two-thirds of peripheral blood leukocytes, and play major roles in innate immunity. In …

The polymorphonuclear leucocyte (PMN) has traditionally been thought to participate in the
inflammatory response only as an effi'ctor cell. However, recent data demonstrate that PMNs …

Polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNs) release the contents of granules during their
migration to inflammatory sites. On liberation from the first leukocyte to enter injured tissue …

The role of polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMNs) in biology is often recognized during
