Fig. 9. Phage bearing a specific PMN-binding peptide sequence induce a pertussis toxin-sensitive calcium signal in PMN. (A) As described in Materials and Methods, INDO-1 loaded PMN were suspended for 2 minute at 37°C in a Ca++-containing buffer and cytosolic [Ca++] measured by spectrofluorimetry before and after the addition of 4 × 1010 of phage bearing the sequences indicated. (B) PMN were treated for 2 hours with pertussis toxin or buffer (control), loaded with INDO-1 and treated with FGDNLTGRW-displaying phage as in (A). Positive and negative controls, respectively (not shown), included stimulation with 10−7 mol/L fMLF and immune complexes.
