Abstract
A significant increase of polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMN) chemiluminescence (CL) was observed when PMN was treated with rat C5ades Arg (r-C5ai), FMLP, opsozined zymosan (STZ) or a calcium ionophore A23487 separately. These stimuli, as well as aggregated IgG (A-IgG), could also cause the release of beta-glucuronidase (beta-g) and myeloperoxidase (MPO) from PMN, on the other hand, elastase (NE) release was not noticed when PMN was treated with r-C5ai and FMLP, which generally stimulated PMN in a cytochalasin B-dependent manner. These results suggest that the kinetics of PMN CL and degranulation vary depending upon the stimulus.
