Scientific Abstract

Neutrophil granulocytes play a central role in innate immunity, but their function regarding pathogenesis of autoimmune diseases like rheumatoid arthritis is poorly understood. Previous studies were restricted to cell-unspecific models or cell culture experiments. Thus, we aim to study this cell type via novel cutting-edge imaging techniques and newly available high specific mouse models in vivo.
