Abstract excerpt
Neutrophils are the most abundant leukocytes in human blood and the first cells responding to infection and injury. Due to their limited ex vivo lifespan and the impossibility to cryopreserve or expand them in vitro, neutrophils need to be purified from fresh blood for immediate use in experiments. Importantly, neutrophil purification methods may artificially modify the phenotype and functional characteristics of...
