Heat-killed opsonized Propionibacterium, shermanii,(P., shermanii) and opsonized live Staphylococcus, aureus,(S., aureus) are shown to elicit a chemiluminescence (CL) from human polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMN) but not from lymphocytes upon phagocytosis. The CL is correlated with hexose monophosphate (HMP) shunt activity, number of PMN, and bacteria. CL was evoked from PMN by opsonized latex particles. No CL was obtained from PMN exposed to serum alone, nor unopsonized bacteria. It is proposed that the CL of PMN reflects the generation of singlet oxygen, 1 0 2, which acts per, se, as the bactericidal and/or CL species.
