## Abstract The phorbol ester, 12β__O__βtetradecanoylphorbolβ13βacetate (TPA), is a potent inhibitor of gap junctional intercellular communication (GJIC). This inhibition requires activation of protein kinase C (PKC), but the events downstream of this kinase are not known. Since PKC can activate ex
## Abstract Chemiluminescence systems enhanced by either isoluminol or luminol in combination with a peroxidase are sensitive methods for the detection of reactive oxygen species (ROS) generated by phagocyte NADPH oxidase. The two amplifying substrates are structurally very similar, differing only
## Abstract Astrocytes express gap junction proteins and multiple types of P2Y receptors (P2YRs) that contribute to the propagation of intercellular Ca^2+^ waves (ICW). To gain access to the role played by gap junctional communication in ICW propagation generated by P2YR activation, we selectively
