Abstract
The determination of the coenzymes NAD+, NADH, NADP+ and NADPH, by the use of a method of enzymatic cycling, demonstrates that the enzymes responsible for the stimulation during the phagocytosis of S. albus are NADH and NADPH oxidase of human leukocytes and NADPH oxidase in the case of guinea pig leukocytes. The effects of serum, of the bacterial strain used and of phospholipase C are also discussed.This publication has 5 references indexed in Scilit:
