Mycobacterium avium is one of the most prevalent opportunistic infections in AIDS patients, and neither prophylaxis nor treatment against M. avium is effective. To evaluate host defense mechanisms against mycobacterial infections, studies investigated whether neutrophils from AIDS patients could inhibit the growth of M. avium in vitro and what cytokines enhance neutrophil function against M. avium. Peripheral blood neutrophils from human immunodeficiency virus-negative and AIDS patients were… 
Neutrophils from AIDS patients treated with granulocyte colony-stimulating factor demonstrate enhanced killing of Mycobacterium avium.
Neutrophils isolated from AIDS patients have demonstrated improved growth inhibition of Mycobacterium avium when incubated with exogenous granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF). In this

TLDR
A summary of studies that evaluate the use of IL-2 to enhance elevation of CD4 cell counts mediated by highly active antiretroviral therapy identifies the optimal use of these cytokines in current clinical practice as well as their potential future roles.
Effects of recombinant granulocyte‐colony stimulating factor administration during Mycobacterium avium infection in mice
TLDR
The administration of recombinant G‐CSF promoted an extensive blood neutrophilia but failed to improve the course of Mycobacterium avium infection in C57Bl/6 or beige mice.
Improvement in neutrophil and monocyte function during highly active antiretroviral treatment of HIV-1-infected patients.
TLDR
The functional improvement of two critical components of innate antimicrobial immunity, such as neutrophils and monocytes, may contribute to the improved cell-mediated immune responses against opportunistic infections in HAART-treated patients.
Treatment with recombinant granulocyte colony‐stimulating factor (FilgrastinTM) stimulates neutrophils and tissue macrophages and induces an effective non‐specific response against Mycobacterium avium in mice
TLDR
Results suggest that activation of neutrophils appears to induce an effective non‐specific host defence against MAC, and further studies should aim for better understanding of the mechanisms of protection.

TLDR
The ability of CRL-1072 to modulate macrophage-mediated activation of neutrophils and receive a feedback activation signal may form one mechanism by which its antimycobacterial activity is achieved in vivo.
Expression of chemokines and induction of rapid cell death in human blood neutrophils by Mycobacterium tuberculosis.
TLDR
Neutrophils play important roles in the host defense against mycobacterial infection, and expression of chemokines interleukin (IL)-8 and macrophage inflammatory protein-1alpha was examined in human blood neutrophils in response to the lipopolysaccharide of Escherichia coli or to Mycobacterium tuberculosis or purified protein derivative.
Neutrophils fromMycobacterium avium-Infected Mice Produce TNF-α, IL-12, and IL-1β and Have a Putative Role in Early Host Response☆
TLDR
The results suggest that neutrophils may have a role in the early (innate) immune response against M. avium but it is only evident after acute depletion of neutrophIL and not in mice with chronic neutrophil impairment.
Ethanol suppression of the functional state of polymorphonuclear leukocytes obtained from uninfected and simian immunodeficiency virus infected rhesus macaques.
TLDR
The data demonstrate that the functional state of PMNs from uninfected as well as SIV-infected rhesus macaques is impaired by direct exposure to intoxicating concentrations of ethanol and that this effect can be attenuated by G-CSF.

Recombinant granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor enhances the effects of antibiotics against Mycobacterium avium complex infection in the beige mouse model.
TLDR
A significant reduction in the number of viable bacteria was observed in blood, liver, and spleen of mice treated with a combination of GM- CSF and azithromycin or amikacin compared with control mice and those treated with GM-CSF or antimicrobials alone.
Concurrent infection of human macrophages with HIV-1 and Mycobacterium avium results in decreased cell viability, increased M. avium multiplication and altered cytokine production.
TLDR
The increase in M.Avium numbers, dysregulation of cytokine production, and subsequent cell death seen in vitro in HIV/M.
Granulocyte colony-stimulating factor enhances the phagocytic and bactericidal activity of normal and defective human neutrophils.
TLDR
It is demonstrated that G-CSF enhances the antibacterial but not the antifungal activities of human PMNL in vitro and also improves the defective PMNL bactericidal activity of HIV-1-infected patients.
Depressed neutrophil superoxide production in human immunodeficiency virus infection.
TLDR
Impaired PMNL oxidative metabolism in HIV infection may contribute to the increased risk of serious bacterial infections, certain opportunistic infections, and perhaps the pathogenesis of HIV infection itself.
Efficacy of recombinant human granulocyte colony-stimulating factor on neutropenia in patients with AIDS.
TLDR
Observations indicate that rhG-CSF may be beneficial in preventing and treating some secondary infections, and will make it easier to continue therapy with antiviral agents in patients with AIDS or ARC.
Neutrophil-macrophage cooperation in the host defence against mycobacterial infections.
Deficient polymorphonuclear cell and mononuclear cell antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity in pediatric and adult human immunodeficiency virus infection.
TLDR
The defect in ADCC of HIV-positive children is due to defects of both effector cells and antibody function, which is significantly less than that of the same cells in the presence of plasma from HIV- positive symptomatic or asymptomatic adults.
Increased phagocytosis and generation of reactive oxygen products by neutrophils and monocytes of men with stage 1 human immunodeficiency virus infection.
TLDR
Compared with results in samples from age- and sex-matched controls, PMNL and monocytes from HIV-1-infected patients exhibited a significantly increased capacity to phagocytose Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli and generate reactive oxygen products, consistent with the hypothesis that stimuli associated with early HIV- 1 infection enhance the nonspecific response of phagocyte cells to potential bacterial pathogens.
Host and bacterial factors control the Mycobacterium avium‐induced chronic peritoneal granulocytosis in mice
TLDR
The ability to recruit granulocytes following the intraperitoneal inoculation of a phlogistic substance (casein hydrolysate) was decreased in infected susceptible but not in infected resistant mice at 90 days of infection with virulent M. avium.
