Netting neutrophils in autoimmune small-vessel vasculitis

Netting neutrophils in autoimmune small-vessel vasculitis Neutrophils release neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs), chromatin fibers that can ensnare bacteria. In small-vessel vasculitis (SVV), a chronic inflammatory condition linked to antineutrophil autoantibodies, these NETs express SVV-associated autoantigens, accumulate in inflamed kidneys and promote the autoimmune response against neutrophils in people with SVV. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Nature Medicine Springer Journals

Abstract

Neutrophils release neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs), chromatin fibers that can ensnare bacteria. In small-vessel vasculitis (SVV), a chronic inflammatory condition linked to antineutrophil autoantibodies, these NETs express SVV-associated autoantigens, accumulate in inflamed kidneys and promote the autoimmune response against neutrophils in people with SVV.
