Analysis of dithionite difference spectra demonstrated that cytochrome b was present in neutrophil homogenates from a 17-year-old girl and her 25-year-old brother who had the autosomal recessive form of chronic granulomatous disease, and from an 18-year-old boy with the X-linked form of chronic granulomatous disease. These results indicate that the postulated importance of cytochrome b in the oxygen burst during phagocytosis is questionable.
