For decades, immunologists thought they knew how bacteria-killing cells called neutrophils finished off the microbes they engulfed: Through a so-called respiratory burst, the cells attack bacteria inside them with highly reactive oxygen molecules known as free radicals and with hypochlorous acid, the agent in common laundry bleach.
