İdil Eylül Ünsal: "neutrophils and macrophages can kill bacteria": neutrophils and macrophages can kill bacteria Much of the killing effect results from several powerful oxidizing agents formed by enzymes in the membrane of the phagosome or by a special organelle called the peroxisome. These oxidizing agents include large quantities of superoxide (O2−), hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), and hydroxyl ions (OH−), which are lethal to most bacteria, even in small quantities. Also, one of the lysosomal enzymes, myeloperoxidase, catalyzes the reaction between H2O2 and chloride ions (Cl-) to form hypochlorite, which is exceedingly bactericidal.
