Abstract excerpt
AIMS: The mechanisms linking deficits in the phagocytic NADPH oxidase 2 (NOX2) complex to autoimmunity are so far incompletely understood. Deficiency in neutrophil cytosolic factor 1 (NCF1) inactivates the NOX2 complex, leading to a dramatic reduction of intra- and extracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) and enhanced susceptibility to autoimmune disease. The contribution of intracellular NOX2 activity to...
