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

TL;DR: A series of diseases in which abnormalities of chemotaxis, phagocytosis, lysosomal degranulation, and/or oxidant generation can be explained directly or indirectly by abnormalities in dynamic properties of PMN membranes, microtubules, or microfilaments are selected.

Oxidant injury of caucasian glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase—deficient red blood cells by phagocytosing leukocytes during infection
TL;DR: Phagocytizing polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMN) can pose as a source of oxidant damage to G6PD-deficient RBC due to hydrogen peroxide generated during phagocyTosis.

Extracellular and bacterial factors influencing staphylococcal phagocytosis and killing by human polymorphonuclear leukocytes.
TL;DR: In normal pooled serum, heat-labile factors were more important for effective phagocytosis than they were in immune serum, and although a saturation point for ingestion was reached, the percentage of ingested bacteria that remained alive within the leukocyte remained relatively fixed.

Hydrogen peroxide production in chronic granulomatous disease. A cytochemical study of reduced pyridine nucleotide oxidases.
TL;DR: The ability of polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMN) in response to phagocytic stimulation was examined cytochemically usingLeukocytes from normal individuals and patients with chronic granulomatous disease (CGD), finding that in CGD patients there are fewer cells capable of peroxide generation, and a majority of these reactive cells produce only reduced amounts of this bactericidal agent.

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.

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.
