Neutrophils are produced in the bone marrow and then patrol blood vessels from which they
can be rapidly recruited to a site of infection. Neutrophils bind, engulf, and efficiently kill …

Neutrophils are innate immune cells that have a vital role in host defense systems.
Neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) are one of neutrophils' defense mechanisms against …

Cationic antimicrobial peptides (CAMPs) are critical front line contributors to host defense
against invasive bacterial infection. These immune factors have direct killing activity toward …

SUMMARY Group A Streptococcus (GAS), also known as Streptococcus pyogenes, is a
clinically well-adapted human pathogen that harbors rich virulence determinants …

Neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) are networks of extracellular chromosomal DNA fibers,
histones, and cytoplasmic granule proteins. The release of NET components from …

Neutrophils are the first cells of the innate immune system that respond to infection by
arriving at sites when pathogens have exceeded physical barriers. Among their response …

Neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) are considered part of the innate human immune
system because they are involved in host defense during bacterial infections. NETs are …

The collagen domain, which is defined by the presence of the Gly‐X‐Y triplet repeats, is
amongst the most versatile and widespread known structures found in proteins from …

Neutrophils are the most abundant innate immune cells, making up 50%–70% of all
leukocytes. Neutrophils are the “first responders” of host defense, preventing infections by …

Neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) are produced by neutrophil activation and usually have
both anti-infective and pro-damage effects. Streptococcus uberis (S. uberis), one of the …
