    Acetylated ferricytochrome c was employed for the detection of superoxide radicals (O-2) generated both in intact cells and in subcellular fractions of leukocytes. Certain saturated fatty acids, myristate in particular, induced the production of O-2 in leukocytes, suggesting a correlation between the formation of O-2 and the hydrophobic interaction of fatty acids with the leukocyte plasma membrane. As compared with O-2 radical generation from phagocytizing leukocytes a greater stimulation of O-2 formation was observed in cells in which myristate was added. The enhanced activity which generated O-2 in the cell-free system was located in a particulate fraction but not in the cytosol. The rate of O-2 generation in the particulate fraction was higher in the presence of NADPH than in the presence of NADH. The effects of reagents such as KCN, 2,4-dichlorophenol and aminotriazole on the O-2 generation in this fraction are examined and the nature of the O-2 generating system is discussed.
