Bacteriolytic activity of lysozyme in the nasal mucosa
Auris, Nasus, Larynx
|January 1, 1986
Abstract:
During an experiment to study the localization of the lysozyme in the nasal mucosa of humans by the protein A-gold technique, we observed the accumulation of lysozymes around bacteria possibly causing bacteriolysis. The lysozyme, therefore, seems to play a preventive role against some kind of bacterial infection in the nasal mucosa in situ.
