Figure 2.6Bactericidal agents produced or released by phagocytes on the ingestion of microorganisms
Most of these agents are made by both macrophages and neutrophils. Some of them are toxic; others, such as lactoferrin, work by binding essential nutrients and preventing their uptake by the bacteria. The same substances can be released by phagocytes interacting with large antibody-coated surfaces such as parasitic worms or host tissues. As these agents are also toxic to host cells, phagocyte activation can cause extensive tissue damage during an infection.
