Failure of Phorbol Myristate Acetate to Damage DNA in Leukocytes from Patients with Chronic Granulomatous Disease

H C Birnboim 1, W D Biggar 2
PMCID: PMC347890  PMID: 7152672

Abstract

Unlike leukocytes from normal donors, leukocytes from patients with chronic granulomatous disease do not suffer DNA damage on exposure to the tumor promoter, phorbol myristate acetate.
