Abstract
Increasing concentrations of the highly permeable, hydroxyl radical scavenger dimethyl sulfoxide progressively decreased killing of Staphylococcus aureus 502A by human polymorphonuclear leukocytes; methane, a product of the reaction of the hydroxyl radical with dimethyl sulfoxide, was generated in the process.Keywords
