| myeloperoxidase | <enzyme> Peroxidase found in the lysosomal granules of myeloid cells, particularly macrophages and neutrophils, responsible for generating potent bacteriocidal activity by the hydrolysis of hydrogen peroxide produced in the metabolic burst) in the presence of halide ions. A metallo enzyme containing iron. Deficiency of myeloperoxidase is not fatal and it is reportedly absent entirely in chickens. (18 Nov 1997) |

| oxygen dependent killing | One of the most important bactericidal mechanisms of mammalian phagocytes involves the production of various toxic oxygen species (hydrogen peroxide, superoxide, singlet oxygen, hydroxyl radicals) through the metabolic burst. Although anaerobic killing is possible, the oxygen dependent mechanism is crucial for normal resistance to infection and a defect in this system is usually fatal within the first decade of life (chronic granulomatous disease). See: myeloperoxidase, chemiluminescence. (18 Nov 1997) |
