Fig. 4. Cell specificity of peptides. / Prepared human primary monocytes, neutrophils, and cultured HL60, Jurkat, U937, NIH3T3, 3Y1, 3T3L1, and PC12 cells were loaded with fura-2 and stimulated with effective concentrations of the 3 peptides (1 μM for monocytes and neutrophils; 10 μM for HL60 and Jurkat; 20 μM for U937, NIH3T3, 3Y1, 3T3L1, and PC12). (A) The peak level of the [Ca++]i increase was recorded. (B) Monocytes and neutrophils were stimulated with 10 μM of each peptide. Superoxide generation was measured using cytochrome c reduction assay. Data are presented are means ± SE from at least 3 independent experiments.
