Extracellular Superoxide Dismutase Hinders Effective Containment of Listeria monocytogenes by Neutrophils
Okunnu, Busola (2018-03-14)Purpose: Increased activity of Extracellular Superoxide Dismutase (ecSOD), an enzyme widely regarded as having protective functions during ROS induced inflammation, has been shown to be detrimental to host survival during ... -
Neutrophils are more effective than monocytes at containment and clearance of Listeria monocytogenes
Okunnu, Busola (2019-03-05)Neutrophils and monocytes are phagocytic cells that have previously been shown to be important for host protection during infection with the intracellular bacteria, Listeria monocytogenes. Previous studies have shown that ... -
The Divergent Roles of Neutrophils and Monocytes During Infection with the Bacterium, Listeria monocytogenes
Okunnu, Busola (2020-05)Neutrophils are polymorphonuclear phagocytic cells that can play both protective and damaging roles during innate immune responses to infection and disease. Therefore, gaining a complete understanding of the functions and ... -
The Role of ecSOD in Neutrophil Containment of Listeria Monocytogenes
Okunnu, Busola (2017-03-14)Background: Extracellular superoxide dismutase (ecSOD) is an antioxidant that serves to minimize host tissue damage during reactive oxygen species (ROS) mediated immune responses. Listeria monocytogenes (LM) is an intracellular ... -
The Role of ecSOD in Phagosomal Containment of Listeria Monocytogenes
Okunnu, Busola (2016-03-23)Extracellular superoxide dismutase (ecSOD) is a secreted enzyme associated with the extracellular matrix that plays a protective role during reactive oxygen species (ROS) mediated inflammatory responses. Listeria monocytogenes ...
