Oxidative burst of granulocyte subpopulations. Granulocyte and granulocyte subpopulations (CD16⁺CD62L⁺, CD16⁺CD62L⁻, CD16^dimCD62L⁺) were analysed between healthy neonates (black squares) and healthy young adults (white dots). Oxidative burst was measured by mean fluorescence of cells (MFI) (a, d, e, g) as the production per cell as well as the percentage of cells producing ROS (%) (b, c, f, h). Cells were stimulated with fMLP (d, c), E. coli (e, f), PMA (g, h) or were left unstimulated (A, B). *p < 0.05; **p < 0.01; ***p < 0.005. Scattered plot with medians and interquartile
