Leukocyte filtration aims to physically remove activated leukocytes from the circulation during CPB. The technique has been used since the mid-1990s but its efficacy in attenuating the effects of inflammatory response remains controversial.

Secretory leukocyte protease inhibitor (SLPI) is a potent inhibitor of human leukocyte elastase. In some chronic airway diseases, the level of SLPI is decreased in sputum, leading to the continuation of neutrophil inflammation. ... In this study, the role of SLPI in subclinical pulmonary emphysema was examined.

In pathology and immunology, you'll call this same cell the PMN (polymorphonuclear leukocyte). Eosinophils are involved in allergic reactions and parasitic infections. Another cell to mention here (although it is NOT a granulocyte) is the Mast Cell.

The risk of celiac disease is strongly associated with human leukocyte antigen (HLA) DQ2 and to a lesser extent with HLA DQ8. Although the pathogenesis of HLA-DQ2-mediated celiac disease is established, the underlying basis for HLA-DQ8-mediated celiac disease remains unclear.

Acid buffer allowed extraction of leukocyte elastase from the luminal layer, which was inhibited by elastase inhibitors. Casein zymography of luminal extracts and conditioned medium from formyl-methionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine (fMLP)-stimulated PMNs exhibited a similar lysis pattern, corresponding to elastase activity.

The aim of this study is to examine a role of polymorphonuclear leukocyte infiltration in amiodarone's anti-inflammatory effect on experimental paw inflammation. After rats had been assigned to groups, their normal right hind paw volumes were measured using a plethysmometer.
