E. Suzaki et al., QUANTITATIVE-ANALYSIS OF SUPEROXIDE ANION GENERATION IN LIVING CELLS BY USING CHEMILUMINESCENCE VIDEO MICROSCOPY, Biochimica et biophysica acta (G). General subjects, 1201(2), 1994, pp. 328-332
Superoxide anions (O-2(-)) generated by rabbit neutrophils were detect
ed and quantified by a video microscope equipped with a photon-countin
g camera. One count obtained by this system was equivalent to 59 amol
of O-2(-). Maximum O-2(-) production was observed at 6-8 min after sti
mulation and was estimated as 1.9 fmol/min per cell on the average.
