EG larvae have elevated survival to subsequent bacterial challenge and have neutrophils with enhanced bactericidal activity. ( |
Ablating EG neutrophils reduces survival to subsequent infection. ( |
EG neutrophils maintain elevated killing rates in macrophage-depleted larvae and when transplanted into infection-naïve recipients. ( |
EG neutrophils enhance expression of mitochondria-associated genes following infection, use mtROS for their enhanced bactericidal activity and have greater mitochondrial mass. ( |
Infection-experienced HSPCs generate neutrophils with elevated bactericidal activity. ( |
