title: NETs tangle with HIV.
abstract: Neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) are comprised of extracellular DNA coated in cytotoxic proteins capable of ensnaring and killing bacteria. Saitoh et al. (2012) expand our understanding of NETs into antiviral immunity by demonstrating that HIV induces the formation of NETs, which can bind and neutralize viral particles.
