<i>N</i> -chlorination mediates protective and immunomodulatory effects of oxidized human plasma proteins
2019-03-23
Abstract excerpt
<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Hypochlorous acid (HOCl), a powerful antimicrobial oxidant, is produced by neutrophils to fight infections. Here we show that N -chlorination, induced by HOCl concentrations encountered at sites of inflammation, converts blood plasma proteins into chaperone-like holdases that protect other proteins from aggregation. This chaperone-like conversion was reversible by antioxidants and was abrogated...
