TY - CHAP M1 - Book, Section TI - Disorders of Granulocytes and Monocytes A1 - Holland, Steven M. A1 - Gallin, John I. A2 - Longo, Dan L. PY - 2016 T2 - Harrison's Hematology and Oncology, 3e AB - Leukocytes, the major cells comprising inflammatory and immune responses, include neutrophils, T and B lymphocytes, natural killer (NK) cells, monocytes, eosinophils, and basophils. These cells have specific functions, such as antibody production by B lymphocytes or destruction of bacteria by neutrophils, but in no single infectious disease is the exact role of the cell types completely established. Thus, whereas neutrophils are classically thought to be critical to host defense against bacteria, they may also play important roles in defense against viral infections.
