Enhanced hydrogen peroxide release from macrophages stimulated with streptococcal preparation OK-432.

H Saito, H Tomioka
PMCID: PMC414683  PMID: 546795

Abstract

Wheat germ lectin was found to be a potent triggering agent for hydrogen peroxide release from mouse peritoneal macrophages. Macrophages stimulated by intraperitoneal injection of OK-432, a lyophilized attenuated streptococcal preparation, were highly responsive to wheat germ lectin.
