Abstract

The past few decades have been exciting for those who have been interested in the study of neutrophil granulocytes and their function. Originating from bone marrow, neutrophils have the ability to migrate toward bacterial invasion or tissue necrosis in the body. Such migration is initiated by the generation of a large number of substances that have characteristics to attract neutrophils. The development of ingeneous techniques for isolating neutrophils free of contaminating platelets and erythrocytes, light microscopy, histochemical staining and electron microscopy have facilitated such studies of neutrophils, their ultrastructure and function. In addition to these techniques, studies with radio-labelled neutrophils have made a substantial contribution to our understanding of the neutrophil function and its life span in mammals.
