Neutrophil Extracellular Traps and Microcrystals

Figure 1

Neutrophil extracellular traps. (a) This fluorescent image depicts NETs released from human PMNs following CPPD crystal stimulation (50 μg/mL, 3 hrs, unpublished data). PMN DNA was stained by DAPI and the color was artificially turned into white for better visibility. (b) Scheme demonstrating different types of microcrystals that were documented to release DNA from PMNs.
