Abstract excerpt
Myeloperoxidase is a key component of neutrophil granules involved in killing engulfed microorganisms. We obtained a zebrafish mutant (smu681) lacking Sudan black staining by large-scale screening, which was a neutrophil-replete but myeloperoxidase-deficient mutant. When infiltrated with Candida albicans, smu681 embryos and sibling embryos showed similar survival after infection. Proliferation of C. albicans was...
