Neutrophil
From MEpedia, a crowd-sourced encyclopedia of ME and CFS science and history
Neutrophils are the most abundant type of white blood cells in humans, accounting for 40-65% of white blood cells. Their number increase up to ten times during infection. They are formed from stem cells made in blood marrow and are part of the innate immune system.[1]
