Article Abstract
Background: Antibodies to neutrophil-specific antigens are the best characterized cause of transfusion-related acute lung injury (TRALI).
Case Report: A double-apheresis platelet (PLT) component was divided and transfused into two patients. One experienced chills, rigors, and dyspnea and the other experienced chills and headache. Transient leukopenia developed in both patients.
Results: Evaluation of donor plasma revealed an anti-HNA-2a and no HLA Class I antibodies. The donor had donated 26 previous apheresis PLT components. The 27 donations resulted in 39 separate transfusions and 12 transfusion reactions in 9 patients. Five reactions occurred immediately after the transfusion, 10 within 1 hour, and all within 2.5 hours. Nine of the reactions involved symptoms or signs of pulmonary dysfunction. The symptoms were mild to moderate in nature. None of the inpatients required intensive care transfer nor did any outpatients require hospital admission. Recipient white blood cell (WBC) counts were measured within 8 hours after 38 of 39 transfusions. Leukopenia occurred in 9 of 12 (75%) transfusions with reactions and in 9 of 26 (35%) transfusions without. The reactions did not correlate with pretransfusion WBC count.
Conclusions: Neutrophil antibodies cause a wide variety of transfusion reactions that do not necessarily meet the definition of TRALI. Donors of blood products causing even mild pulmonary reactions or leukopenia should be tested for neutrophil-specific antibodies.

Background: Neutrophils can release pro-inflammatory cytokines and neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs), leading to vascular thrombosis. Neutrophil-platelet interaction, a major component of thrombosis, is more pronounced in inflammatory pathologies, such as heart failure (HF). Recently, the platelet receptor CD41/CD61 (GPIIb/IIIa), known for its role in platelet adhesion and aggregation via its binding to fibrinogen, was found on the membrane of neutrophils from lung cancer patients.

Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome (PRRS) causes significant economic losses in the swine industry. However, the molecular mechanisms behind the common and cell type-specific systemic responses during PRRS virus (PRRSV) infection are not well understood. In this study, we collected viremia data, antibody levels, and whole-blood RNA-seq data obtained from eight PRRSV-infected piglets.

Article Synopsis
- Subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) can lead to cerebral ischemia, and recent research suggests that microvasospasm, influenced by perivascular inflammation, plays a role in this condition.
- A mouse model with intravital 2-photon imaging was used to study vascular and perivascular changes following SAH, revealing that neutrophils and neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) contribute to the development of microvasospasms.
- The findings indicate that targeting perivascular NETs could be a potential new treatment approach for mitigating microvasospasm-related issues in SAH.

Background: Sepsis, a complex and life-threatening disease, poses a significant global burden affecting over 48 million individuals. Recently, it has been reported that programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) expressed on neutrophils is involved in both inflammatory organ dysfunction and immunoparalysis in sepsis. However, there is a dearth of strategies to specifically target PD-L1 in neutrophils in vivo .

Neutrophils, constituting 50%-70% of circulating leukocytes, play crucial roles in host defense and exhibit anti-tumorigenic properties. An elevated peripheral blood neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio is associated with decreased survival rates in cancer patients. In response to exposure to various antigens, neutrophils release neutrophil granular proteins, which combine to form web-like structures known as neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs).
