... at concentrations of about 10 –– 4 mol/l was found capable of effectively scavenging free oxygen radicals. Luminol-dependent chemiluminescence activity of isolated TA phagocytes or alveolar macrophages was suppressed by UA dose dependently, with a 100% reduction at UA concentrations of 10 ––3 mol/l...

...Mumtaz Lakhani; Shaista S. Usmani; Raul A. Wapnir; Rita G. Harper We tested the hypothesis that the phagocytic activity of polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMNs) of neonates is more sensitive to furosemide (FU) in vitro than that of adults. Phagocytosis was monitored by chemiluminescence of PMNs...

...Akira Nishida; Hirokazu Kimura; Minoru Nakano Opsonin activity (OA) was investigated in serum samples from cord blood of 11 full-term newborn infants and 12 healthy adult volunteers by the method of luminol-dependent chemiluminescence (L-CL) and Cypiridina luciferin analog-dependent...

... the chemiluminescence probe cypiridina luciferin analog (CLA) for O 2 generation and luminol (L) for OCl –– generation. OCl –– generation by granulocytges was also monitored by taurine chloramine formation. The chemiluminescence probe based upon CLA was highly specific for and sensitive to O 2 and could be adopted...
