Dynamics of neutrophil infiltration during cutaneous wound healing and infection using fluorescence imaging.

Published in The Journal of investigative dermatology

Neutrophil influx is an early inflammatory response that is essential for the clearance of bacteria and cellular debris during cutaneous wounding. A non-invasive real-time fluorescence imaging technique was developed to examine the kinetics of enhanced green fluorescence protein-polymorphonuclear leukocyte (EGFP-PMN) influx within a wound. We hypot...
