Differences between human male and female neutrophils in mRNA, translation efficiency, protein, and phosphoprotein profiles

Human males and females show differences in the incidence of neutrophil-associated diseases such as systemic lupus erythematosus, rheumatoid arthritis, and reactive arthritis, and differences in neutrophil physiological responses such as a faster response to the chemorepellent SLIGKV. Little is known about the basis of sex-based differences in human neutrophils.
