Neutrophil Phagocytosis - White Blood Cell Eats Staphylococcus Aureus Bacteria

Neutrophil granulocytes represent around 60 percent of all white blood cells and are an essential part of the innate immune system. It was previously considered impossible to improve the innate immune system, which is partially why vaccines are focused on the adaptive / acquired immune system. Recent research tells us however, that beta glucans may improve the killing abilities of the innate immune system, and help neutrophils identify and move faster to the site of a foreign invader (chemotaxis) and devour
