PIP3 production in fMLP and ANCA-stimulated neutrophils.
2 × 107 neutrophils were primed with 2 ng/mL TNF-α and stimulated either with 1 μM fMLP, 250 μg/mL MPO-ANCA, 250 μg/mL PR3-ANCA, or 250 μg/mL normal and PIP3 production measured. (A) Representative HPLC trace showing inositol phosphates derived from 30-second fMLP-stimulated 32P-labeled neutrophils (●) superimposed on trace 3H internal standards (■). (B) Graph showing percentage dpm in 32P PIP3 fraction after 30-second and 15-minute stimulation. All samples were tested in duplicate, and results show pooled data from 2 experiments. ■ indicates cells; ░, fMLP; ▥, MPO-ANCA; ▤, PR3-ANCA; ▨, normal IgG.
