Abstract
NK activity was evaluated in three patients with chronic granulomatous disease (CGD), a disorder in which phagocytic cells fail to undergo a stimulus-dependent burst of oxidative metabolism and thus do not generate toxic oxygen derivatives. In spite of the inability to produce reactive oxygen species, CGD mononuclear cells have normal NK activity.
