## Abstract Leukotrene (LT) B~4~ activates human polymorphonuclear neutrophils. (PMN) by binding to plasmalemmal receptors. It stimulates PMN to raise cytosolic calcium and degranulate. Both responses end within 15–30 sec. However, in < 15 sec, LTB~4~‐treated PMN lose the ability to respond further
Fourteen patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) were studied before, during, and after a 1-week total fast. Disease activity decreased, as did the neutrophil release of lysozyme induced by the ionophore A23187. The ability of zymosan-activated RA patient serum to aggregate control neutrophils was r
SUMMARY: Alveolar macrophages (AM) may take part in the amplification of the inflammatory mechanism involved in asthma. During an asthma attack, mast cells and eosinophils release arachidonic acid derivative mediators of inflammation such as sulfidopeptide leukotrienes. Among them, \(\mathrm{LTC}_{4
We have found that exogenous leukotriene B, modifies calcium homeostasis in rabbit neutrophils in a manner essentially analogous to that of the chemotactic peptide f-Met-Leu-Phe. Leukotriene B, causes a rapid and dosedependent increase in membrane permeability to calcium and a release of calcium fro
