INTERACTION OF BACTERIAL EXOTOXINS WITH NEUTROPHIL EXTRACELLULAR TRAPS: IMPACT FOR THE INFECTED HOST

INTERACTION OF BACTERIAL EXOTOXINS WITH NEUTROPHIL EXTRACELLULAR TRAPS: IMPACT FOR THE INFECTED HOST

Since their discovery in 2004, neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) have been characterized as a fundamental host innate immune defense against various pathogens. Released in response to infectious and pro-inflammatory stimuli, NETs can immobilize invading pathogens within a fibrous matrix consisti...
