Neutrophil-derived Oxidants and Proteinases as Immunomodulatory Mediators in Inflammation
Mediators of Inflammation, 1994 Neutrophils generate potent microbicidal molecules via the oxygen-dependent pathway, leading to the generation of reactive oxygen intermediates (ROI), and via the non-oxygen dependent pathway, consisting in the release of serine proteinases and ...
