The rhodamine-based probe R19-S reacts with HOCl to yield fluorescent R19, in red (13). a The initial phase of oxidative burst appearing as faint red fluorescence in an activated neutrophil with pseudopod extension and GV on its surface (black arrowhead), 0 s. An increase in fluorescence intensity is observed over time and the number of neutrophils producing red fluorescence also increases but at variable intensity, b 10 s, and c 20 s. Magnification, × 20
