Neutrophils are key innate immune cells involved in infection control and the resolution of inflammation. While their roles during immune responses are well established, much less is known about their functions in tissue homeostasis and development. Emerging evidence suggests that neutrophils are not a homogeneous population but comprise distinct subsets that carry out specialized functions.
Using a photoconvertible transgenic zebrafish line that allows the detection and tracking of neutrophil subpopulations, co-existing subsets with ontogenetically distinct origins were identified. These subsets exhibit marked functional differences under homeostatic conditions and during inflammatory responses.
