Neutrophil extracellular trap (NET) formation is a powerful instrument to fight pathogens, but may induce collateral damage in the affected tissues. Besides pathogen-derived factors, immune complexes
Streptococcus suis serotype 2 (SS2) is a major porcine pathogen. Neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) can capture and kill pathogens, which is an essential mechanism of action of neutrophils against
In order to combat invading pathogens neutrophils can release neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs). However, since NETs can also damage endogenous cells, several control mechanisms for the formation
