Abstract

Polymorphonuclear neutrophils( PMNs)are one of the first defenses against invading microbes.There are two ways for PMNs to kill bacteria,phagocytosis and neutrophil extracellular traps( NETs),which is much more effective.NETs are composed of DNA and protein.After the stimulation of inducing factor,NETs appear and capture the pathogens.The mechanism of NETs becomes a current research focus in the field of PMNs.
