Abstract:
Metabolic burst of polymorphonuclear leukocytes was evaluated by means of a luminol-enhanced chemiluminescence assay. Patients affected with active psoriasis showed a higher response than patients with chronic disease and controls when the neutrophils were stimulated with opsonized zymosan or phorbol myristate acetate.
