## Abstract ATP is the dominant messenger for astrocyteβtoβastrocyte calciumβmediated communication. Definition of the exact ATP/P2 receptors in astrocytes and of their coupling to intracellular calcium ([Ca^2+^]~i~) has important implications for brain physiology and pathology. We show that, with
Activation of purinoceptor by ATP induces in eosinophils various cell responses including calcium transients, actin polymerization, production of reactive oxygen metabolites, CD11b-expression, and chemotaxis. Here, the effect of ion channel-gated P2X and/or G protein-coupled P2Y receptor agonists AT
