Horses are susceptible to a multitude of inflammatory conditions that are characterized by a
strong neutrophilic response. Here, we review basic equine neutrophil biology and explore …

The capacity of the two cytokines TNF-alpha and IL-1beta to directly stimulate the oxidative
activity of polymorphonuclear neutrophils remains debated. The purpose of this study was to …

Equine neutrophils (PMN) play a critical role in inflammatory processes in horses. The
objective of this study was to characterize equine PMN function ex vivo following stimulation …

Objective—To evaluate lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced activation of equine neutrophils
in blood. Sample Population—Blood samples from 5 healthy adult Thoroughbreds …

Neutrophils are potent contributors to the lung pathophysiological changes occurring in
allergic airway inflammation, which typically involve T helper type 2 (Th2) cytokine …

Acute COPD was induced in susceptible horses by exposure to a 5 h hay/straw challenge.
The kinetics and function of airspace neutrophils harvested by bronchoalveolar lavage and …

Abstract This study explores Neutrophil Extracellular Trap (NET) formation in equine
neutrophils, which is crucial for eliminating infections and is implicated in various equine …

Horses are particularly sensitive and exposed to excessive inflammatory responses evolving
toward an important stimulation of polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMNs). The aim of this …

Flow cytometric assays were used to compare phagocytic and oxidative burst activity of
neutrophils from healthy foals less than 7 days of age with the activity of cells from healthy …

Neutrophilic bronchiolitis is the primary lesion in asthma-affected horses. Neutrophils are
key actors in host defense, migrating toward sites of inflammation and infection, where they …
