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
## 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
