The development of new advances in understanding the role of neutrophils in inflammation requires effective procedures for isolating and purifying neutrophils. Methods for isolating human neutrophils are fairly standard, and some are covered in other chapters of this volume and previous editions. However, procedures for isolating neutrophils from nonhuman species used to model human diseases vary from those used in isolating human neutrophils and are not as well developed. Since neutrophils are highly reactive and sensitive to small perturbations, the methods of isolation are important to avoid isolation technique-induced alterations in cell function. We present methods here for reproducibly isolating highly purified neutrophils from large animal models (bovine, equine, ovine), small animal models (murine and rabbit), and nonhuman primates (cynomolgus macaques) and describe optimized details for obtaining the highest cell purity, yield, and viability.

Dose-dependent serological profiling of AdCLD-CoV19-1 vaccine in adults.

International Vaccine Institute, Seoul, South Korea.
AdCLD-CoV19-1, a chimeric adenovirus-based severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) vaccine, was previously reported to elicit robust antibody responses in mice and non-human primates after a single dose. In this study, we conducted a systems serology analysis to investigate changes in humoral immune responses induced by varying doses of the AdCLD-CoV19-1 vaccine in a phase I clinical trial. Serum samples from participants receiving either a low or a high dose of the vaccine were analyzed for antibody features against prototype SARS-CoV-2 spike (S) domains (full-length S, S1, S2, and receptor binding domain), as well as Fc receptor binding and effector functions.

This study aimed to establish a baseline hematological profile and examine the influence of age, sex, and season on hematological parameters in captive chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes) living in a humid tropical climate. Hematological parameters are a useful tool for assessing health status and diagnosing diseases in animals. We analyzed 473 blood samples collected from 84 chimpanzees (43 females and 41 males) during annual health checks, conducted under anesthesia for a routine physical examination.

Neutrophils are the most abundant cell type in the airways of tuberculosis patients. Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) infection induces the release of neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs); however, the molecular regulation and impact of NET release on Mtb pathogenesis are unknown. We find that during Mtb infection in neutrophils, PAD4 citrullinates histones to decondense chromatin that gets released as NETs in a manner that can maintain neutrophil viability and promote Mtb replication.

Article Synopsis
- Researchers created a non-human primate model of septic shock to better study the disease and test new treatments under conditions similar to modern intensive care.
- The study analyzed how different doses of a bacteria impacted the animals, noting significant effects on heart rate, blood pressure, and organ function.
- The model showed key immunological and pathological responses similar to human sepsis, revealing potential for its use in understanding disease mechanisms and developing effective therapies.
42-parameter mass cytometry panel to assess cellular and functional phenotypes of leukocytes in bronchoalveolar lavage of Rhesus macaque.

This Optimized Multiparameter Immunofluorescence Panel (OMIP) reports on the development of a mass cytometry panel for broad immunophenotyping of leukocytes from bronchoalveolar lavage from rhesus macaques. Using this panel, we were able to identify myeloid populations such as macrophages, neutrophils, monocytes, myeloid and plasmacytoid DCs, basophils and lymphoid cell lineages including B cells, natural killer (NK) cells, mucosal associated invariant T (MAIT) cells, γδ T cells, CD4 T cells, CD8 β T cells, CD8 T cells, and innate lymphoid cells (ILCs). We also included markers for defining memory, differentiation (CCR7, CD28, CD45RA), homing potential (CXCR3), cytotoxic potential (perforin, granzyme B, granzyme K), cell activation/differentiation (HLA-DR, CD69, IgD) and effector function (CD154, IFN-γ, TNF, IL-2, IL-17A, IL-6, IL-1β, CCL4 and CD107a).
