Abstract

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) produced by neutrophils are crucial for defense against infectious diseases, and the adequate measurement of ROS levels is an important way to evaluate the possibility of infections. The fluorescent probe dihydrorhodamine 123 has been applied exclusively to the measurement of ROS thus far. We developed a novel method for detecting ROS, which utilizes the chemiluminescent probes Luminol and Diogenes. The new method quantitatively detects ROS produced by as few as 10 to 10(4) neutrophils. Furthermore, this method can detect ROS levels in one microliter of whole blood or ROS produced by Epstein-Barr immortalized B lymphocytes. This method will be valuable for prompt diagnosis of neonatal chronic granulomatous diseases in which neutrophils aberrantly produce superoxide.

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • The neutrophil respiratory burst is usually measured spectrophotometrically by reduction of ferricytochrome C to ferrocytochrome C with absorbance at 550 nm, or histologically by reduction of nitro blue tetrazolium to insoluble formazan.

    “The neutrophil respiratory burst is usually measured spectrophotometrically: (a) following the reduction of ferricytochrome C Fe3+ which is reduced by superoxide, producing oxygen and bright-red ferrocytochrome C Fe2+ with a detectable spectrophotometric absorbance at 550 nm [152,153]; and (b) histologically using the tetrazolium salt, nitro blue tetrazolium, which is reduced intracellularly to an”

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.
