Detection of neutrophil extracellular traps in patient plasma: method development and validation in systemic lupus erythematosus and healthy donors that carry IRF5 genetic risk
Neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) are web-like structures extruded by neutrophils after activation or in response to microorganisms. These extracellular structures are decondensed chromatin fibers loaded with antimicrobial granular proteins, peptides, and enzymes. NETs clear microorganisms, thus...
