During bacterial infections of the respiratory tract, neutrophils (PMN) are recruited to the lung by various mechanisms, including production of interleukin-8 (IL-8) by alveolar macrophages (AM). After fulfilling their defense function, PMN become apoptotic and have to be disposed of by AM to preven
## Abstract The role of calcium in the release of superoxide anion (O) was examined in alveolar macrophages after stimulation with the Soluble stimuli: concanavalin A (Con A), Nβformyl methionyl phenylalanine (FMP), and the calcium ionophore, A23187. The release of O by Con A was unaffected over a
