For resident alveolar and peritoneal macrophages, the percentage of macrophages that were nitroblue tetrazolium-positive following stimulation with serum-opsonized zymosan is shown. Wild-type (WT) corresponds to ≥95% nitroblue tetrazolium-positive. For neutrophils, the percent reduction of NOX2 activity compared to wild-type neutrophils is shown, as determined using the cytochrome C assay. Monocyte NOX2 activity was determined by flow cytometry and was at WT levels, expect for Ncf2KO
