Abstract

Centrifugation steps are regularly used for neutrophil isolation. Thereby, the influences of applied g-forces on the functionality of PMNs have hardly been analyzed and could consequently have been overlooked or led to biased results. We now hypothesize that blood PMNs—when gently isolated—can be long-lived cells and they physiologically become apoptotic rather than NETotic. Neutrophils were ...
