The apparent volume of neutrophils, as measured electronically with the Coulter counter, has been reported to increase upon treatment with chemotactic factors. The occurrence of a volume change was confirmed by forward angle light scattering and by isotopic measurements of intracellular water space

Previous studies have documented the activation of Na+/H+ exchange in A431 cells by the addition of epidermal growth factor or serum (Rothenberg et al., 1983b). Here we show that exposure of A4 31 cells to medium of increased osmolarity also leads to activation of Na+/H+ exchange and to an increase
## Abstract Multidrug resistant (MDR) tumor cells exhibit an altered pH gradient across different cell compartments, which favors a reduced intracellular accumulation of antineoplastic drugs and a decreased therapeutic effect. In our study, we have observed that the activity and expression of Na^+^
To explore further the mechanisms that regulate the Na+/H + antiport in human platelets, we examined the effect of Na + pump inhibition by ouabain and K + removal from the extracellular medium on parameters of this transport system. Treatment with ouabain resulted in increased cytosolic free Ca 2+ a
