Brief description During infection, the lifespan of neutrophils normally increases despite an abundance of neutrophil death signals in inflamed tissues. Altered lifespan of neutrophils has been reported in diseases associated with influenza, Streptococcus, RSV and cytomegalovirus infection. Our research has discovered a relationship between the two dominant death pathways in neutrophils, indicating that alterations in one death pathway protect the neutrophil from death signals from the second death pathway.
