Hematopoietic growth factors not only modulate blood progenitor cell activity but also alter the function of mature phagocytes. Recombinant human granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (rhGM-CSF; 1 ng/mL for 60 min) did not stimulate luminol-enhanced chemiluminescence of polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNs) in suspension but primed PMN for as much as a 15-fold increase in chemiluminesc...

Human bronchoalveolar lavage cells from several different disease states were examined by the technique of zymosan-stimulated, luminol-dependent chemiluminescence. Light production correlated well with polymorphonuclear leucocyte contamination of the alveolar macrophage suspension but not with lymphocyte contamination. Regression analysis indicated that human alveolar macrophages produce little...

A review on the flow analysis of phosphorus with chemiluminescence detection is presented. A brief discussion of the chemiluminescence principles and applications is given. Particular emphasis is devoted to coupling different flow techniques (flow injection, sequential injection, multicommutation, multisyringe flow injection, multi-pumping) to chemiluminescence detection. Enzymatic and non-enzy...

Effect of temperature on the chemiluminescence (CL) of Luminol in some aqueous aliphatic amines such as ethyl amine (EA), diethyl amine (DEA), and triethyl amine (TEA), have been studied and reported. On the basis of experimental results, it is found that the chemiluminescence intensity initially increased with temperature, attains an optimum value of particular temperature and then decrease on...
