Journal ArticleDOI

How neutrophils kill microbes

TL;DR: Killing was previously believed to be accomplished by oxygen free radicals and other reactive oxygen species generated by the NADPH oxidase, and by oxidized halides produced by myeloperoxidase, but this is incorrect.
Journal ArticleDOI

Killing activity of neutrophils is mediated through activation of proteases by K + flux

TL;DR: It is shown that mice made deficient in neutrophil-granule proteases but normal in respect of superoxide production and iodinating capacity, are unable to resist staphylococcal and candidal infections.
Journal ArticleDOI

Activation of the NADPH oxidase involves the small GTP-binding protein p21rac1.

TL;DR: The active components of purified ω1 are two proteins that associate as heterodimers17, and here it is reported that these are the small GTP-binding protein p21racl and the GDP-dissociation inhibitor rhoGDI.
Journal ArticleDOI

The biochemical basis of the NADPH oxidase of phagocytes

TL;DR: The NADPH oxidase is an electron transport chain found in lymphocytes and in the wall of the endocytic vacuole of 'professional' phagocytic cells and provides a key to the understanding of the way in which these GTP-binding proteins function.
