Investigation of microbial responses to transition metal sequestration by the innate immune protein calprotectin
In response to microbial infection, the human host deploys metal-sequestering host-defense proteins to limit nutrient availability and thereby inhibit microbial growth and virulence. Calprotectin (CP) is an abundant antimicrobial protein that is released from neutrophils and epithelial cells at site...
