Abstract
Background: An efficient immune system is crucial for the host to mount a sufficient immune response, particularly in times of disease and traumatic injury. In leukaemia, regardless of the type, the abnormal cells in the bone marrow suppress the formation of other cells, leading to several adverse effects. Our research suggests that the traditional innate immune functions of neutrophils might be impaired in subjects with leukaemia, which could have significant implications for the immune system’s response to disease and injury.
