Abstract:Neutrophils are essential antimicrobial effector cells with short lifespans. During infection or sterile inflammation, accelerated production and release of immature neutrophils from the bone marrow serves to boost circulating neutrophil counts. To facilitate the study of neutrophil development and function, we optimised a method for ex vivo production of human neutrophils from CD34+ haematopoietic progenitors. We obtain high yields of neutrophils, which phenotypically resemble immature neutrophils released in… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
