Amino Acid Oxidase in Leukocytes: Evidence Against a Major Role in Phagocytosis
AUTOR(ES)
DeChatelet, Lawrence R.
RESUMO
The addition of either d- or l-amino acids fails to increase hexose monophosphate shunt activity of resting or phagocytizing neutrophils. This is presumptive evidence against a major role for amino acid oxidase in the bactericidal activity of the cell.
