- Mechanism of action
pGSN also enhances bacterial uptake and death by macrophages. It has positive effects on the immune system as it boosts clearing of pathogens and modulates inflammatory reactions; often pGSN is consumed in both serious infectious and non-infectious conditions. Its physiological effects thus make it a potential candidate for severe acute respiratory syndrome (ARDS) associated with COVID-19, as administration of recombinant protein is thought to supplement depleted levels of pGSN.
