Human Neutrophil Elastase

Measurement of Neutrophil Elastase, Proteinase 3, and Cathepsin G Activities using Intramolecularly Quenched Fluorogenic Substrates

Neutrophil elastase, proteinase 3, and cathepsin G are three hematopoietic serine proteases, large quantities of which are stored in neutrophil cytoplasmic azurophilic granules. They act in combination with reactive oxygen species to degrade

Analysis of Neutrophil Apoptosis

Neutrophil-derived granule enzymes, oxidants, and mediators have been implicated in the pathogenesis of a variety of inflammatory diseases. Neutrophil apoptosis is associated with the loss of expression of adhesion molecules and greatly

Neutrophil Isolation From Nonhuman Species

Advances in the understanding of neutrophil biochemistry require the development of effective procedures for isolating purified neutrophil populations. Although methods for human neutrophil isolation are now standard, similar procedures
