background: it is believed that bovine neutrophils contain several peptides and protein which exhibit antimicrobial activity against microorganisms such as fungi and bacteria. objectives: the purpose of this study was to isolate and purify a potential antibacterial protein from bovine neutrophil and test its anti bacterial activity. methods: neutrophils were isolated from bovine blood using dex...

Introduction: The aim of this study was to evaluate the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR), and mean platelet volume (MPV) in patients with recurrent aphthous stomatitis (RAS).   Materials and Methods: Eighty patients who were diagnosed with RAS between January 2014 and January 2016 were included in this study. Eighty age- and gender-matched healthy subject...

Background: Neutrophil infiltration plays an important role in inflammatory reactions following spinal cord injury (SCI) and these cells cause substantial secondary tissue damage. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of oleuropein (OE) on myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity as an index of neutrophil infiltration. Methods: Rats were randomly divided into four groups of 7 rats each as...

the present study examined the effects of vitacel raw fiber on great sturgeon (huso huso) immunocompetent cell population size including lymphocyte and neutrophil populations and lysozyme activity after oral administration of the feed and vitacel at 1.3% of the feed for 90 days. generally, a significant increase was seen in the neutrophil count of fish receiving vitacel as compared to the contr...

A highly specific, fluorogenic probe detects human neutrophil elastase (hNE) in activated neutrophils and Neutrophil Extracellular Traps (NETs).

Plant derived immunostimulants are a promising alternative to chemotherapeutics and also perhaps vaccines. In the present study, we examined the immunostimulating properties of aqueous leaf extract of Phyllanthus niruri, an Indian traditional medicinal herb, on neutrophil activation and antibody response of Oreochromis mossambicus (Peters). Serial ten-fold diluted doses of P. niruri ranging fro...

Neutrophil mobility in 60 patients with vitamin D-deficient rickets is studied, and the patients are followed after therapy by 600,000 units vitamin D. 28 of 60 patients (46%), had low chemotaxis for neutrophils before vitamin D injection (migration), and 36 of 60 (60%) had low random mobility. The results showed a significant improvement after vitamin D therapy furthermore, the level of c...
