2 Fig 1 Micrographs of polymorphonuclear granulocytes showing tetrazolium crystal formation after nitroblue tetrazolium reduction (A,B,C) and projection of pseudopods (D,E,F). Control blood of individuals without symptoms (A,D), patient whole blood (B, E), and naive granulocytes incubated in patient plasma (C, F). Bar represents 10 mm. Magnification is same for all panels.
