Neutrophils are the first type of white blood cells to be recruited to a site of injury, infection or inflammation. They are important in eliminating bacteria and other pathogens that may have entered the body through a wound or bug bite. Eosinophils are involved in fighting parasitic infections and allergies. Monocytes can become macrophages which are phagocytic and can help remove debris and dead cells. Plasma cells produce antibodies while NK cells are involved in killing cancerous and infected cells.
