Essential role of neutrophils against Neisseria meningitidis B infection. Activated (LPS plus IFN-γ) or nonactivated PMN are capable of killing N. meningitidis (A). VA-MENGOC-BC (−RP3 group) also protects the rats (P < 0.001), but the elimination of PMN by RP3 treatment before challenge with N. menigitidis B decreased (P < 0.001) their survival.
