Abstract excerpt
Defects in gp91-phox, the large subunit of cytochrome b558 (b-245) give rise to X-linked chronic granulomatous disease (CGD), a rare inherited condition characterized by an extreme susceptibility to bacterial and fungal infection. In the majority of cases, the phagocytes are unable to generate an...
