Abstract

Using an assay that measured superoxide dismutase-inhibitable nitro blue tetrazolium reduction, we studied superoxide (O2-) production by a cell-free system from human granulocytes. At 40 muM NADPH and a protein concentration of 0.12 mg/ml, lysates prepared from human granulocytes formed O2- at a rate of 18. 4 +/- 4.6 SE nmol/ml reaction mixture per donor, but not with glucose-6-phosphate, 6-phosphogluconate, glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate, sodium lactate, glutathione, or ascorbic acid. The Km's for NADPH and NADH were 8.6 +/- 4.6 muM and 0.83 +/- 0.30 mM, respectively, suggesting that NADPH is the physiological electron donor in this system. O2- production was not inhibited by 1mM KCN. The rate of O2- production by the cell-free system was comparable to the rate of O2-production by an equivalent quantity of intact granulocytes incubated under similar conditions. O2- production by lysates from granulocytes preincubated with serum under conditions previously shown to stimulate O2- production in the intact cells was no different than its production by lysates from unstimulated cells. O2- production at 0.2 mM and 0.02 mM NADPH by lysates from the granulocytes of two patients with chronic granulomatous disease was similar to O2- production by control lysates. This finding was interpreted in terms of the possibility that the metabolic lesion in chronic granulomatous disease may lie outside the oxygen-metabolizing enzyme system of the granulocyte, or alternatively, that the granulocytes may contain two O2- - forming enzymes, one of which is inactive in chronic granulomatous disease.

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.
