These invaginations corresponded to the variations in diameter Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium. of TVE (160–240 nm). We hypothesized that TVE represented protrusions of neutrophil exocytotic trafficking through special structures on the neutrophil surface. In conclusion, we propose a novel mechanism by which NO-induced TVE formation enables neutrophils to bind and aggregate bacteria at a distance.
