abstract：:Cyclic ADP-ribose (cADPR) is a natural metabolite of beta-NAD+ with a potent Ca2+-mobilizing activity in different cell types, including T-lymphocytes. We investigated (i) whether stimulation of T-lymphocytes with different agonists affects the intracellular concentration of cADPR, and (ii) whether the lymphocyte anti...
