Answers:
In white cells the production of small proteins, enzymes and nitric oxide, work together to kill invading bacteria. A research team discovered that white blood cells respond directly to Streptococcus, Staphylococcus, Salmonella, and other bacteria that cause disease in humans, by increasing their levels of a protein known as hypoxia inducible transcription factor-1, or HIF-1. The protein, in turn, stimulates white blood cells to release antimicrobial compounds that kill bacteria. The team also found that treating white blood cells with chemicals to increase HIF-1 levels could enhance the cells' capacity to kill bacteria.
