pubmed:abstractText
The respiratory burst of polymorphonuclear leukocytes, induced by the addition of chemotactic peptide (N-formyl-methionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine) and cytochalasin B was found to consist of two phases. The first phase of very rapid oxygen uptake lasted 1-3 min. and was followed by a second more prolonged phase of lower magnitude. The apparent Km for oxygen of unstimulated cells was 9.6 +/- 0.67 microM, while that of the second phase of stimulation was 3.7 +/- 1.6 microM oxygen. The possibility that lowered oxygen concentrations may regulate polymorphonuclear leukocyte activity in some pathological conditions is discussed.
