Catalase and dehydroascorbate reductase in human polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMN): possible functional relationship

In leukocytes (PMN) of individuals with Swiss type acatalasemia, the rate of dehydroascorbate reduction is 4 times normal. This observation suggests that the protective function served by catalase in human PMN is supported by dehydroascorbate reductase.
