Immunophenotype and metabolism are linked in peripheral blood neutrophils from patients with kidney cancer by A. A. Savchenko, A. G. Borisov, I. V. Kudryavtsev, I. I. Gvozdev, A. V. Moshev

“…Results: we have found that the phenotypic alterations in circulating KC patients’ neutrophils appeared along with inhibition of main intracellular metabolic processes and were closely linked with them. The features of the phenotypic imbalance in the neutrophils from KC patients were associated with a decrease in blood cells expressing adhesive (CD11b and CD62L) and functional (CD64 and HLA-DR) receptors. …”
