Abstract
Neutrophil-derived serine proteases play an important role in fighting infections. However, emerging data suggest that these proteases also regulate noninfectious inflammatory responses. Loss-of-function mutations in serine proteases have provided critical insights into the significance of these serine proteases in initiating and amplifying immune complex-mediated diseases.
