Descriptor English: Neutrophil Activation
Descriptor Spanish: Activación Neutrófila
Descriptor activación de neutrófilos
Scope note: Proceso en el cual el neutrófilo es estimulado por diversas sustancias, lo que da lugar a desgranulación y/o generación de productos del oxígeno reactivo, y culmina en la destrucción de patógenos invasores. Las sustancias estimuladoras, que incluyen partículas opsonizadas, inmunocomplejos y factores quimiotácticos, se unen a receptores específicos de la superficie celular del neutrófilo.
