Production of superoxide anion in leukocytes isolated from RGBS patients in relation to complete and incomplete remission. Leukocytes isolated from RGBS patients were stimulated by 10-7 M fMLF. The production of superoxide anion was measured kinetically by isoluminol or luminol-amplified chemiluminescence. Responses are given as Mcpm (106 counts per minute), presented as the mean CL values ± SEM at different time points. The statistical significance of difference in superoxide anion production between subjects with complete (solid line) and incomplete recovery (dashed line) was determined using two-tailed, unpaired Student's t-test, p < 0.01**, p < 0.001***.
