Polymorphonuclear leukocytes or neutrophils are the first immune cells to the site of injury and microbial infection. Neutrophils are crucial players in controlling bacterial and fungal infections, and in particular secondary infections, by phagocytosis, degranulation and neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs). While neutrophils have been shown to play important roles in viral pathogenesis, there is a lack of detailed investigation. In this article, we will review recent progresses toward understanding the role of neutrophils in viral pathogenesis.
多形核白细胞或中性粒细胞是第一个到达损伤和微生物感染部位的免疫细胞。中性粒细胞在吞噬、脱颗粒和中性粒细胞细胞外陷阱(NETs)方面对抗细菌和真菌感染,特别是继发感染,起着至关重要的作用。虽然已经证明中性粒细胞在病毒发病机制中起重要作用,但缺乏详细的研究。在本文中,我们将回顾理解中性粒细胞在病毒发病机制中的作用的最新进展。
