Abstract excerpt
Chronic granulomatous disease (CGD) is caused by defects of NADPH oxidase. The diagnosis of CGD can be made by analysis of NADPH oxidase activity, however, identification of the CGD subgroups is required before performing mutation analysis. The membrane-bound subunits, gp91phox and p22phox, can be quickly analyzed by flow cytometry, unlike the cytosolic components, p47phox and p67phox. We evaluated the...
