I have investigated the role played by reactive oxygen species (ROS) generated by the phagocyte NADPH oxidase system in the innate immune response. I first looked at effector functions by asking whether ROS released from phagocytes might be effective in the killing of extracellular bacteria. Since bacteria can be killed in many other ways – for example by proteases or by cationic peptides – I made use of the recently demonstrated capacity of ROS to remove discontinuities from the surface of gold as the basis of an in vivo assay for extracellular ROS. Unlike bacterial killing, this readout system is not affected by enzymes, cationic peptides or other biological anti-bacterial agents. By this means I was able to use wild type mice and a conge...
