The role of neutrophils in the acute inflammatory response. Neutrophils are the first immune cells to arrive at the inflammatory site. Neutrophils are highly phagocytic cells; they produce reactive oxygen species (ROS) and undergo degranulation, releasing highly toxic products, creating a degradative microenvironment. They also release neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) to trap and kill pathogenic agents.
