Extracellular DNA traps in a ctenophore demonstrate immune cell behaviors in a non-bilaterian

Abstract The formation of extracellular DNA traps (ETosis) is a first response mechanism by specific immune cells following exposure to microbes. Initially characterized in vertebrate neutrophils, cells capable of ETosis have been discovered recently in diverse non-vertebrate taxa. To assess the con...
