How Recombinant Human Plasma Gelsolin works
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.
