Abstract

In recent years taurine chloramine raised considerable interest as a part of the immune system. Regarded at first as a simple end-product of HOCl metabolism, during further studies it revealed oxidative, bactericidal and immunomodulatory properties. Today there is little doubt as to its complex role in mechanisms of both innate and acquired immunity. This review is an attempt to summarize our knowledge about its properties and role in the immune system.
