                           FIG. 5.15  Some of the enzymes and other antibacterial molecules
                                    found in the cytoplasmic granules of neutrophils.




               Cytokines

               Under the influence of bacterial products such as

               lipopolysaccharides, neutrophils produce many different cytokines
               such as IL-1, TNF-α, IL-6, CXCL8, IL-10, and transforming growth
               factor-β (TGF-β). Although individual neutrophils produce only
               small amounts of these cytokines, they invade inflammatory sites in

               enormous numbers, so their total contribution may be significant.
