[HTML][HTML] Neutrophil extracellular traps prevent HIV infection in the female genital tract
FD Barr, C Ochsenbauer, CR Wira… - Mucosal …, 2018 - Elsevier
Women acquire human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) mainly through sexual intercourse.
However, low transmission rates per sexual act indicate that local immune mechanisms
contribute to HIV prevention. Neutrophils represent 10–20% of the genital immune cells in
healthy women. Neutrophils mediate mucosal protection against bacterial and fungal
pathogens through different mechanisms, including the release of neutrophil extracellular
traps (NETs). NETs are DNA fragments associated with antimicrobial granular proteins …
