Abstract
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are produced in immune cells by the phagocyte NADPH oxidase (NOX2) system that carries out coordinated transfer of electrons to molecular oxygen. The importance of the system in host defence and immunoregulation is underlined by chronic granulomatous disease (CGD), a severe monogenic immunodeficiency caused by mutations in genes encoding individual components of NOX2. CGD also leads to inflammatory manifestations due to the regulatory role of ROS in multiple signalling processes. We describe the system in detail, from its discovery to our current understanding of the oxidase. We also describe CGD and illustrate how recent insights into this disease shed light on physiology.
期刊介绍:
Clinical & Experimental Immunology (established in 1966) is an authoritative international journal publishing high-quality research studies in translational and clinical immunology that have the potential to transform our understanding of the immunopathology of human disease and/or change clinical practice.
The journal is focused on translational and clinical immunology and is among the foremost journals in this field, attracting high-quality papers from across the world. Translation is viewed as a process of applying ideas, insights and discoveries generated through scientific studies to the treatment, prevention or diagnosis of human disease. Clinical immunology has evolved as a field to encompass the application of state-of-the-art technologies such as next-generation sequencing, metagenomics and high-dimensional phenotyping to understand mechanisms that govern the outcomes of clinical trials.
