What Role Do WBCs Play in Neonatal Immune Response?
WBCs are central to the neonatal immune response. They help identify and neutralize pathogens. Different types of WBCs, including neutrophils, lymphocytes, monocytes, eosinophils, and basophils, each play specialized roles in immune defense. In neonates, the immune system is still developing, so the function and efficiency of WBCs can differ significantly from older children and adults.
