The release of 9-aminoacridine loaded into neutrophil granules has been monitored using quantitative fluorescence microscopy of individual rat neutrophils. Within the granule, the fluorescence of the dye was substantially quenched, but release into the surrounding medium restored fluorescence. From kinetic analysis of the increase in fluorescence it was shown that secretion from a single neutrophil in response to a low concentration of chemotactic peptide occurred in 'bursts'. Each 'burst' of secretion was of equal size and kinetics, which were equal to the size and kinetics of the smallest evoked response possible. A significant time-lag of 5-10 s between the arrival of the stimulus at the cell and the onset of secretion was recorded. It was therefore concluded that secretion from neutrophils was the result of release of quantal amounts of dye following a delay period.
