Abstract
Rabbit neutrophils were loaded with the fluorescence probe indo-1 and cytosolic free calcium levels were monitored during chemotactic peptide (fMet-Leu-Phe) stimulation. The fMet-Leu-Phe-induced calcium signal consisted of three consecutive phases: (1) an initial peak that was independent of extracellular calcium, (2) a secondary shoulder that required extracellular calcium but was totally blocked by hyperosmolality and (3) a final plateau of elevated calcium that was dependent on extracellular calcium but insensitive to hyperosmolality.
