OverviewNeutrophils are autonomous cells, freely living within humans (and other mammals), which are responsible for combating infection by microbes. They are also responsible for causing damage to the host in inflammatory disease. Understanding how these cells interpret the environment and decide on an appropriate course of action is therefore vital for understanding both physiological and pathological inflammation. This report provides an overview of the intracellular signalling events within neutrophils which regulate their activity, including oxidase activation and ""priming.""
