  • (20) Release was abrogated by omission of myeloperoxidase or H2O2, heating of MPO, or addition of azide, cyanide, or catalase.

Ferrocyanide


Definition:

  • (n.) One of a series of complex double cyanides of ferrous iron and some other base.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) Ferric ion and ferrocyanide are bound to nodes as colloidal precipitates, and may migrate away from their sites of formation.
