Abstract
The majority of chapters concerning non-specific immunity contained in this book have been devoted to polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNs). This is not difficult to understand. PMNs are a homogeneous population of fully mature cells which can be easily collected in large numbers for biochemical and functional investigations. Disorders of these cells produce well-defined clinical syndromes and much work is being carried out in an endeavour to understand the underlying mechanisms.
