myeloid cells

What is the Function of Myeloid Cells?

Myeloid cells have several critical functions:
- Neutrophils: Rapidly respond to infections by phagocytosing bacteria and releasing enzymes.
- Eosinophils: Combat parasitic infections and modulate allergic reactions.
- Basophils: Release histamine and other mediators during allergic responses.
- Monocytes/Macrophages: Engulf pathogens and dead cells, present antigens to T-cells, and release cytokines.
- Dendritic Cells: Capture and present antigens, initiating adaptive immunity.
