TLDR
Evidence is strengthened that the fundamental metabolic lesion in CGD cells during phagocytosis is indeed deficient production of hydrogen peroxide, probably, as previously shown, due to diminished oxidase for reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide.Abstract:
Polymorphonuclear leukocytes from patients with chronic granulomatous disease (CGD) exhibit metabolic and bactericidal deficiencies that may be the result of inadequate production of H2O2. A hydrogen peroxide-generating system was, therefore, inserted into CGD leukocytes. This was accomplished by allowing the cells to phagocytize latex spherules coated with glucose oxidase. This produced an amelioration in the known metabolic deficiencies of these cells during phagocytosis: (a) intracellular (catalatic) formate oxidation dependent upon hydrogen peroxide production was enhanced fourfold; and (b) hexose monophosphate shunt activity, which other workers have shown to be at least partially dependent upon the availability of H2O2, was markedly stimulated. These data strengthen the evidence that the fundamental metabolic lesion in CGD cells during phagocytosis is indeed deficient production of hydrogen peroxide, probably, as previously shown, due to diminished oxidase for reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide.read more

Quantitative leukocyte iodination.
TL;DR: The quantitative iodination test correlates to some degree with microbicidal activity, and is therefore recommended as a simple, useful test for leukocyte iodination.

Spontaneous in vitro reduction of nitroblue tetrazolium by neutrophils of adult patients with bacterial infection.

TL;DR: Elevated NBT responses were associated with a wide variety of infectious diseases due to classic pyogenic bacteria as well as nocardia and malarial parasites and could be induced in vitro with bacterial culture filtrates or high concentrations of endotoxin.

Defect in pyridine nucleotide dependent superoxide production by a particulate fraction from the cranulocytes of patients with chronic granulomatous disease.
TL;DR: Particulate fractions from normal human granulocytes preactivated with opsonized zymosan were found to catalyze superoxide production in the presence of reduced pyridine nucleotides, suggesting that chronic granulomatous disease represents either a defect in a p Pyridine nucleotide-dependent superoxide-forming oxidase or a lesion in the apparatus responsible for activating the oxidase.

Hydrogen peroxide utilization in myeloperoxidase-deficient leukocytes: a possible microbicidal control mechanism.
TL;DR: Phagocytosis-induced formate and glucose C-1 oxidation by the polymorphonuclear leukocytes of a patient with hereditary myeloperoxidase deficiency was considerably greater than normal and the addition of catalase to the leukocyte suspension was required for optimum formate oxidation.

TL;DR: It is suggested that excessive active oxygen species released by monocytes and perhaps macrophages may play an important role in formation of the intestinal lesions in CD.

In Vitro Bactericidal Capacity of Human Polymorphonuclear Leukocytes: Diminished Activity in Chronic Granulomatous Disease of Childhood
TL;DR: The deficiency of bactericidal capacity and the minimal degranulation after active phagocytosis by the PMN of these children with an inherited syndrome suggest that separate metabolic processes are involved in phagocytetosis and in intracellular digestion.

Quantitative Nitroblue Tetrazolium Test in Chronic Granulomatous Disease
TL;DR: Chronic granulomatous disease is an X-linked defect in the killing of certain bacteria by peripheral blood granulocytes and may be detected with the nitroblue tetrazolium (NBT) test.

Myeloperoxidase-Halide-Hydrogen Peroxide Antibacterial System
TL;DR: Myeloperoxidase, at high concentrations, exerted an antibacterial effect on L. acidophilus in the absence of added halide, which also was temperature- and catalase-sensitive, and suggests that, under the conditions employed, the antibacterial properties of a weak acid extract of guinea pig leukocytes is due, in part, to its peroxid enzyme content, particularly if a halide is present in the reaction mixture.
