    Absence of a newly described cytochrome b from neutrophils of patients with chronic granulomatous disease.

    Abstract

    A unique cytochrome b which becomes incorporated into phagocytic vacuoles has been described in human neutrophils. This cytochrome b appears to be situated in the plasma membrane of these cells, and acts as a component of the microbicidal oxidase system. Absence or gross abnormality of this cytochrome b was demonstrated in all four patients with chronic granulomatous disease who were investigated, and reduced concentrations in two mothers known to be carriers of the disease.
