👉 Bacteriotropin is a protein that plays a crucial role in the immune system. It acts as an immunosuppressive agent, which means it blocks the body's natural response to fight off infections and diseases. Specifically, bacteriotropin binds to receptors on the surface of infected cells and disrupts their ability to mount an effective immune response. This can lead to a decrease in the number of white blood cells (such as neutrophils) that normally help fight off infections.
