Neutrophils are one of the first cells to arrive at the site of infection, where they apply several strategies to kill pathogens: degranulation, respiratory burst, phagocytosis, and release of neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs). Antibiotics have a...
INTRODUCTION: Intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) has been widely used to treat various conditions, including inflammatory and autoimmune diseases. IVIG has been shown to have a direct influence on neutrophils, eosinophils and lymphocytes. However, man...
We introduce machine learning (ML) to perform classification and quantitation of images of nuclei from human blood neutrophils. Here we assessed the use of convolutional neural networks (CNNs) using free, open source software to accurately quantitate...
Over a decade ago, the formation of neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) was described as a novel mechanism employed by neutrophils to tackle infections. Currently applied methods for NETs release quantification are often limited by the use of unspe...
