Abstract

The NADPH oxidase of human eosinophils, measured in the cell-free system, shows the same characteristics as the enzyme from human neutrophils. All proteins required for activity of the enzyme are expressed in eosinophils at a higher level than in neutrophils. Eosinophils isolated from patients with chronic granulomatous disease show the same molecular defects as the neutrophils fom these patients.
