14C-Glucose Oxidation in Whole Blood: a Clinical Assay for Phagocyte Dysfunction

Gerald T Keusch 1, Steven D Douglas 1, Donna Mildvan 1, Shalom Z Hirschman 1
PMCID: PMC422384  PMID: 4636293

Abstract

A screening test for chronic granulomatous disease is described; it is based on abnormal oxidation of glucose-1-14C to 14CO2 during phagocytosis by leukocytes in whole blood.
