Popis: Neutrophils are important cells of the innate immune system and the major leukocyte subpopulation in blood. They are responsible for recognizing and neutralizing invading pathogens, such as bacteria or fungi. For this, neutrophils are well equipped with pathogen recognizing receptors, cytokines, effector molecules, and granules filled with reactive oxygen species (ROS)-producing enzymes. Depending on the pathogen type, different reactions are triggered, which result in specific activation states of the neutrophils. Here, we aim to establish a label-free method to indirectly detect infections and to identify the cause of infection by spectroscopic characterization of the neutrophils. For this, isolated neutrophils from human peripheral blood were stimulated in an
