1. INTRODUCTION The production of superoxide and hydroxyl rad- icals by neutrophils has been shown to occur fol- lowing stimulation with membrane-perturbing agents 111. The production of superoxide radicals appears to be due to a specific activation of a plas- ma membrane-bound NADPH oxidase which is inactive
