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.
Inflammatory bowel disease and mutations affecting the interleukin-10 receptor.

TL;DR: Mutations in genes encoding the IL10R subunit proteins were found in patients with early-onset enterocolitis, involving hyperinflammatory immune responses in the intestine, and resulted in disease remission in one patient.

Killing activity of neutrophils is mediated through activation of proteases by K + flux
Emer P. Reeves,Hui Lu,Hugues Lortat Jacobs,Carlo Messina,Steve Bolsover,Giorgio Gabella,Eric O. Potma,Alice Warley,Jürgen Roes,Anthony W. Segal +9 more
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.

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.

The NADPH oxidase of professional phagocytes--prototype of the NOX electron transport chain systems.
Andrew R. Cross,Anthony W. Segal +1 more
TL;DR: The NADPH oxidase is an electron transport chain in "professional" phagocytic cells that transfers electrons from NADPH in the cytoplasm, across the wall of the phagocyte vacuole, to form superoxide.
