Identification of a Ca++-dependent and Ca++-independent pathway of [3H]AA release.
Cells were preincubated for 5 minutes at 37°C in the presence (○) or absence (•) of 1 mmol/L Ca++ and 1 mmol/L Mg++. Cells were then stimulated with the indicated concentration of LTB4. Data represent the mean ± SEM of 3 to 4 independent experiments and show (A) the maximal increase in [Ca++]c and (B) the release of [3H]AA release at 60 seconds, where an asterisk indicates that the stimulation of the LTB4-induced Ca++-independent release was significant (P < .05) compared to controls.
