Abstract excerpt
Freshly isolated monocytes from cystic fibrosis (CF) heterozygotes and homozygotes had significantly increased oxygen uptake and superoxide formation after surface glycoprotein stimulation than did monocytes from age- and sex-matched controls. Lack of differences among the genotypes in inhibition by simple sugars of the concanavalin A-stimulated superoxide production and lack of differences in concanavalin...
