Effect of peptides on [Ca++]irise in human monocytes.
Fura-2–loaded monocytes were stimulated with effective concentrations of HFYLPM (1 μM,); MFYLPM (1 μM,▪); HFYLPm (100 nM,); and LFMYHP (10 μM,▾). The change in 340 nm/380 nm was monitored. (A) The results are representative of 6 independent experiments. The cells were stimulated with various concentrations of each peptide. The peak level of the increase in [Ca++]i was monitored. (B) Data are presented as means ± SE of 4 independent experiments. *P < .01 versus vehicle treatment.
