Abstract
⺠Neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) are pivotal for innate host defense. ⺠ROS contribute to NET formation but the active species are not identified. ⺠Singlet oxygen (1O2) scavengers inhibited Nox-dependent NET formation. ⺠1O2 itself could make NETs independent of Nox activation. ⺠These results indicate that 1O2 is essential for NET formation.
