The determination of leukocyte phagocytic oxidase activity by measurement of the initial rate of stimulated oxygen consumption. 1975

J P Crowley, and E M Skrabut, and C R Valeri

A method for the estimation of leukocyte phagocytic oxidase activity is described, which is based upon the polarographic measurement of the initial rate of oxygen consumption of peripheral blood leukocyte suspensions during maximally active phagocytosis. Mean values are presented for 22 normal donors, and the effects of centrifugal force, serial washing, temperature of storage, and the presence of platelets in the incubation mixture are described and discussed.

D007962 Leukocytes White blood cells. These include granular leukocytes (BASOPHILS; EOSINOPHILS; and NEUTROPHILS) as well as non-granular leukocytes (LYMPHOCYTES and MONOCYTES).

D010088 Oxidoreductases The class of all enzymes catalyzing oxidoreduction reactions. The substrate that is oxidized is regarded as a hydrogen donor. The systematic name is based on donor:acceptor oxidoreductase. The recommended name will be dehydrogenase, wherever this is possible; as an alternative, reductase can be used. Oxidase is only used in cases where O2 is the acceptor. (Enzyme Nomenclature, 1992, p9) Dehydrogenases,Oxidases,Oxidoreductase,Reductases,Dehydrogenase,Oxidase,Reductase
D010587 Phagocytosis The engulfing and degradation of microorganisms; other cells that are dead, dying, or pathogenic; and foreign particles by phagocytic cells (PHAGOCYTES). Phagocytoses
