From: Neutrophil extracellular trap formation and nuclease activity in septic patients
Neutrophil Extracellular Trap (NET) formation following phorbol-myristate-acetate (PMA) stimulation. PMA (25 nM) led to a strong increase of NET formation, both in septic patients and volunteers, reaching NET formation in more than 70% of neutrophils. Thus, in spite of decreased NET formation under baseline conditions in septic patients, NET formation capacity in neutrophils from septic patients is still high and approaches that of PMA stimulated neutrophils from volunteers. Data are means ± SD
