Neutrophil surface molecules function in part as biological sensors. Surface antigens
undergo several changes during neutrophilic maturation to accommodate the cell's function.
Surface antigens may appear with neutrophilic maturation, such as CD16b, CD35, and
CD10; disappear with maturation, such as CD49d and CD64; be maintained during
maturation, such as CD32, CD59, and CD82; or disappear with maturation but reappear
after neutrophilic extravasation, such as CD49b. This article reviews the alterations in …
