Whereas phagocytic cells from normal individuals have the capacity to kill ingested bacteria and parasites, those from patients with several uncommon genetic deficiency diseases are known to be defective in bactericidal activity. Studies on neutrophils of these patients have revealed fundamental defects in their ability to reduce molecular oxygen and metabolize it to superoxide anion, H2O2, and oxygen radicals. A clone of a continuous murine macrophage-like cell line, J774.16, activates the hexose monophosphate shunt and produces superoxide anion and H2O2 on appropriate stimulation is described. Variants defective in O2 metabolism were selected using nitroblue tetrazolium to select against cells capable of being stimulated by phorbol myristate acetate to reduce the dye to the polymer formazan, which is toxic for cells. Four of these subclones were lacking in the ability to generate superoxide anion, as measured by cytochrome c reduction; to produce H2O2, as measured by the ability to form complex I with cytochrome c peroxidase; and to be stimulated to oxidize glucose via the hexose monophosphate shunt. These variants appear to represent a useful model for studying the molecular basis for macrophage cytocidal activity.
