Inside the Neutrophil Phagosome: Oxidants, Myeloperoxidase, and Bacterial Killing

Abstract

IN THE 1880s Elie Metchnikoff observed specialized phagocytic cells ingesting bacteria, and recognized the importance of phagocytosis as a defense mechanism in multicellular organisms.[1][1] Neutrophils are one of the professional phagocytes in humans. They ingest bacteria into intracellular
