Abstract

Polymorphonuclear neutrophil leukocytes (PMNs) have long been viewed as short-lived effector cells capable of phagocytosing pathogens and mediating tissue damage. In this issue of Immunity, Zhang et al. (2009) shed fresh light on the plasticity and immunoregulatory functions of PMNs.

摘要

多形核中性粒细胞（PMNs）长期以来一直被视为能够吞噬病原体并介导组织损伤的短命效应细胞。在本期《免疫》杂志中，Zhang等人（2009年）对PMNs的可塑性和免疫调节功能有了新的认识。
