Popis: Background CD64 (Fcgamma-receptor I) is a high-affinity receptor for the Fc-portion of immunoglobulin molecules, normally expressed only by monocytes and to a very low extent by neutrophils. During infection the cytokine-induced activation of neutrophils results in changes in the expression of leucocyte-differentiation antigens with an increase in CD64 levels above the normal cut-off of 6136 antibody-phycoerythrin molecules bound/cell. The aim of this study was to evaluate the diagnostic utility of CD64 expression on neutrophil surface to identify neonatal infection.
