Low concentrations of FMLP, partially purified rabbit C5a, leukotriene B4 and platelet activating factor induced a rapid rise of intracellular free Ca2+ in rabbit polymorphonuclear leukocytes. However, the four factors differed markedly in their ability to activate the respiratory burst. The peptides FMLP and C5a induced a single, strong chemiluminescence response whereas the lipids leukotriene B4 and platelet activating factor induced a markedly less intense response with a two-peak profile. Respiratory burst activation by the peptides was dependent on extracellular Ca2+ whereas the lipids required both Mg2+ and Ca2+. The results indicate that mobilization of intracellular Ca2+ is insufficient by itself to induce respiratory burst activation and that the intracellular pathways leading to activation differ depending on the nature of the stimulus.
