Abstract
Neutrophil leukocytes are the body's major defence against bacteria, which they phagocytose and kill. It has been found that phagocytosis and killing are accompanied by a dramatic rise in non-mitochondrial respiration; and that the efficiency of killing is impaired in the absence of oxygen. It is al ā€¦
