Abstract:
The exocytosis of cytoplasmic granules plays a most important role in the regulation of many neutrophils functions: adhesion, phagocytosis, killing of bacteria and interaction with endothelial cells. Neutrophils contain following types of granules: azurophilic (primary) granules, specific (secondary) granules, gelatinase-rich tertiary granules and secretory vesicles. Neutrophil granules may be classified on the basis of their size, morphology, density or with reference to a given protein.
