The cytocentrifuge NBT test.

Abstract: The NBT test is a non-specific test of neutrophil membrane stimulation which has application to the study of neutrophil function, particularly in the septicaemic patient. An improved cytochemical test which eliminates potential sources of laboratory error has been developed. Venous or capillary blood samples may be studied and the technique can be applied to the neutropenic patient since available neutrophils are concentrated by cytocentrifugation. Clinical evaluation in 443 patients is described.

“…Dentre eles, a redução do tetrazólio de nitroazul (NBT) é um dos mais indicados (Gordon et al 1975). O NBT é um corante que é reduzido pelo ânion superóxido a um precipitado insolúvel de coloração azul-escuro conhecido como formazam (Park & Good 1970).…”
