Defective Superoxide Production by Granulocytes from Patients with Chronic Granulomatous Disease
Abstract
Superoxide-dependent cytochrome c reduction was used to measure Superoxide production by granulocytes from two patients with chronic granulomatous disease, from children of similar age with infectious and noninfectious diseases unrelated to defects in granulocyte metabolism, and from normal adults. Superoxide production by granulocytes from normal adults was 12.4 ± 4.9 (± S.D.) nmoles per 3 x 106 cells per 30 minutes for resting cells, and 29.7 ± 2.8 nmoles for cells incubated with bacteria (stimulated cells). Values of 10.9 ± 1.5 and 26.1 ± 3.1 nmoles for resting and stimulated granulocytes obtained from children 11 to 18 months of age were not significantly different from corresponding values in adult granulocytes. Superoxide production by cells from two patients with chronic granulomatous disease was greatly reduced (0.3 and 0.2 for resting cells, and 0.9 and 0.9 for stimulated cells), but normal production was obtained with cells from both parents of one of these patients and from the mother of the second patient.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
