Evidence for activation of a respiratory burst in the interaction of human neutrophils with Mycobacterium tuberculosis.

We examined the capacity of human neutrophils to develop a respiratory burst, as monitored by superoxide release, in response to interaction with Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Serum-opsonized, heat-killed mycobacteria induced significant release of superoxide from neutrophils after 30 min of exposure,...
