The table indicates the resting and peak [Ca2+]i (in nanomoles per liter) in a series of FURA-2–injected mouse megakaryocytes after treatment with collagen (100 μg/mL) and the effect of injection of p72syk SH2 domains, pretreatment with PP1 or staurosporine, or in the absence of the p72syk or p59fyn in megakaryocytes from protein-deficient mice. Results are indicated as the mean ± SE mean of the number of cells indicated in the right-hand column. Resting [Ca2+]i values were taken immediately before the addition of agonist, and the increase in [Ca2+]i was determined as the difference between this value and the peak [Ca2+]imeasured after the addition of agonist.
