In the recent decade, neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) have been identified and confirmed as a new anti-microbial weapon of neutrophils. In this protocol, we describe easy methods to demonstrate NET formation by immunofluorescence staining of extracellular chromatin fiber with anti-DNA/Histone H1 antibody and quantification of NETs by using a non-cell-permeable DNA specific dye Sytox orange.
在最近十年中，中性粒细胞胞外陷阱（NETs）已被鉴定并确认为中性粒细胞的一种新型抗菌武器。在本方案中，我们描述了通过用抗DNA/组蛋白H1抗体对细胞外染色质纤维进行免疫荧光染色来证明NET形成的简便方法，以及使用非细胞渗透性DNA特异性染料Sytox orange对NETs进行定量的方法。
