Quantitative Proteomic Approaches in a Zebrafish Model of Granulocytic Inflammation

Neutrophils represent the most abundant type of leukocytes in vertebrates and are the first cells migrating to sites of trauma. Despite their fundamental importance, our understanding of the molecular changes occurring within neutrophils upon inflammation in a living animal remains fairly limited. In this study, the zebrafish model was used to investigate the in vivo orchestration of a neutrophil inflammatory response at the protein level.
