Two Distinct Superoxidase Dismutases (SOD) Secreted by the Helminth Parasite <i>Fasciola hepatica</i> Play Roles in Defence against Metabolic and Host Immune Cell-Derived Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) during Growth and Development

Two Distinct Superoxidase Dismutases (SOD) Secreted by the Helminth Parasite <i>Fasciola hepatica</i> Play Roles in Defence against Metabolic and Host Immune Cell-Derived Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) during Growth and Development

The antioxidant superoxide dismutase (SOD) catalyses the dismutation of superoxide, a dangerous oxygen free radical, into hydrogen peroxide and molecular oxygen. Superoxide generation during the oxidative burst of the innate immune system is considered a key component of the host defence against inv...
