Abstract:
:This investigation of Ca2+ requirements for the mitogenic activation of lymphocytes by periodic acid has shown that oxidation by periodate causes an immediate and transient increase of Ca2+ influx and efflux in oxidized cells. Oxidized lymphocytes maintained in the medium containing 0.2 mM Ca2+ failed to proliferate or to produce IL-2, whereas a 1.4 mM Ca2+ concentration was shown to be sufficient to sustain cellular proliferation and IL-2 secretion. These results indicate that mitogenic activation of lymphocytes by periodic acid oxidation is Ca(2+)-dependent.
