Neutrophils are multifaceted cells that are often the immune system's first line of defense.
Human and murine cells release extracellular DNA traps (ETs) in response to several
pathogens and diseases. Neutrophil extracellular trap (NET) formation is crucial to trapping
and killing extracellular pathogens. Aside from neutrophils, macrophages and eosinophils
also release ETs. We hypothesized that ETs serve as a mechanism of ensnaring the large
and highly motile helminth parasite Strongyloides stercoralis thereby providing a static target …
