The granulocyte nitroblue tetrazolium reductase test.
The nitroblue tétrazolium (N B T ) test is most useful for the diagnosis of chronic granulomatous disease and a few other rare metabolic abnormalities of neutrophils. It may be helpful in suggesting the presence of infection when values of both percentage of N BT positive neutrophils and total number of N BT positive neutrophils are markedly increased. Each patient must be inter preted with ca...
متن کاملAcceleration of tetrazolium reduction by bacteria.
Conditions were assessed which would permit more rapid recognition of bacterial growth than has been previously reported using tetrazolium salts. Microtitration trays were used. 2-(p-Iodophenyl)-3(p-nitrophenyl)-5-phenyltetrazolium chloride is rapidly reduced by respiring cells in tissue homogenates but is more toxic than other tetrazoliums when added to growing bacterial cultures. Phenazine me...
متن کاملReduction of tetrazolium salts by pleuropneumonialike organisms.
Tetrazolium salts have proved useful as indicators of electron transfer. Compounds such as triphenyltetrazolium chloride' are more practical than indicators like methylene blue since they are converted from a soluble colorless salt to an insoluble formazan in the reduced state. They also provide similar convenience in detecting enzymatic activity and specific sites of such activity (Bielig, Kau...
متن کاملTetranitro-blue Tetrazolium Reduction in Bacillus Subtilis
In order to decide whether in the bacterial cell the enzymes of the respiratory chain are located in "particulate elements" (1) or in the plasma membrane (2) we investigated the reduction of potassium tellurite in Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. For the first time in 1962 (3), and in more detail in 1964 (4), we reported that with Bacillus subtilis we had found that reduction products ...
متن کاملNitroblue tetrazolium test in experimental syphilis.
The reduction of nitroblue tetrazolium (NBT) by phagocytic leucocytes in peripheral blood has been examined in rabbits injected intratesticularly with Treponema pallidum, T. pallidum-free supernatant of orchitic testes, or normal rabbit testes supernatant. A significant (P less than 0.01) increase in NBT reduction was observed only in the infected animals.
