		Neutrophil granulocytes (commonly referred to as neutrophils) are a class of white blood cells and are part of the immune system.
		Neutrophils are active phagocytes, capable of only one phagocytic event, expending all of their glucose reserves in an extremely vigorous respiratory burst.
		In Familial Mediterranean fever (FMF), a mutation in the pyrin (or marenostrin) gene, which is expressed mainly in neutrophil granulocytes, leads to a constitutionally active acute phase response and causing attacks of fever, arthralgia, peritonitis and - eventually - amyloidosis.

	Neutrophil granulocyte - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Neutrophil granulocytes, generally referred to as neutrophils, are the most abundant type of white blood cells and form an integral part of the immune system.
		Neutrophil granulocyte migrates from the blood vessel to the matrix, sensing proteolytic enzymes, in order to determine intercellular connections (to the improvement of its mobility) and envelop bacteria through phagocytosis.
		Neutrophil granulocytes have an average volume of 330 femtoliters (fl) and a diameter of 12-15 micrometers (µm) in peripheral blood smears.

	Publications - Granulocyte Transfusions
		Granulocyte function is normal or near normal.6 Granulocyte recovery and survival are adversely affected by as little as 8-24 hours storage.
		Granulocytes are transfused daily until the patient's infection clears or until the neutrophil count exceeds 500/µl.
		Granulocytes obtained from these donors are functionally normal and may have improved phagocytic, bactericidal, and fungicidal activity.

	Cord Blood Forum: Annotated Bibliography- Miscellaneous Topics- granulocyte transfusion
		The author reviews several modern studies of granulocyte transfusion therapy and summarizes by stating that the bottom line is that it is not clear whether even large doses of granulocytes are useful in clearing infections or prolonging survival in neutropenic immunocompromized patients.
		Although these results suggest that prophylactic granulocyte transfusions may be effective in limiting the period of neutropenia, it must be emphasized, however, that the published results to date represent preliminary findings and the efficacy of prophylactic granulocyte transfusion requires further study in large well-controlled trials.
		Granulocytes should be transfused daily and at least a 4 day treatment is recommended with continuation after this time based upon clinical judgment and patient response.

	Granulocyte - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Granulocytes are a category of white blood cells characterised by the presence of granules in their cytoplasm.
		Their names are derived from their staining characteristics; for example, the most abundant granulocyte is the neutrophil granulocyte, which has neutrally-staining cytoplasmic granules.
		A granuloma is a tumor containing granulocytes, and a "granulomatosis" is a necrotizing granuloma.

	eMedicine - Neutropenia : Article Excerpt by: John E Godwin, MD, MS
		In the marrow, the neutrophils exist in 2 divisions—the proliferative, or mitotic, compartment (myeloblasts, promyelocytes, myelocytes) and the maturation-storage compartment (metamyelocytes, bands, polys).
		Some neutrophils do not circulate freely (marginal compartment) but are adherent to the vascular surface, and these constitute approximately half the total neutrophils in the blood compartment.
		Neutrophils leave the blood pool in a random manner after 6-8 hours and enter the tissues, where they are destined for cellular action or death.

	Neutrophil definition - Medical Dictionary definitions of popular medical terms
		Neutrophil: A type of white blood cell, specifically a form of granulocyte, filled with neutrally-staining granules, tiny sacs of enzymes that help the cell to kill and digest microorganisms it has engulfed by phagocytosis.
		The mature neutrophil has a segmented nucleus (it is called a seg or poly) while the immature neutrophil has band-shape nucleus (it is called a band).
		Neutropenia, a decreased proportion of neutrophils, may be seen with viral infections and after radiotherapy and chemotherapy.
