    Abstract:
    Stimulation of guinea pig granolocytes by digitonin results in superoxide (O-2) generation. A continuous assay shows that there is a lag between the addition of digitonin and the onset of O-2 production. The rate of activation of the O-2 generating system is dependent upon the concentration of digitonin and the temperature. The final linear rate of O-2 production is affected by the concentration of digitonin, temperature, pH, and the presence of exogenous reduced pyridine nucleotides. Thus, factors which alter either the activation process or the activity of the O-2 generating system can affect O-2 production by stimulated granolocytes.
