Induction of increased calcium uptake in mouse T lymphocytes by concanavalin A and its modulation by cyclic nucleotides

The binding of concanavalin A to T but not B mouse spleen lymphocytes increases Ca 2+ uptake in these cells which is measurable by 45 s and complete by 1 min. Dibutyryl cyclic AMP, but not sodium azide inhibits induced Ca 2+ uptake, whereas dibutyryl cyclic GMP enhances it. B cell mitogens do not ca...

Zusammenfassung:The binding of concanavalin A to T but not B mouse spleen lymphocytes increases Ca 2+ uptake in these cells which is measurable by 45 s and complete by 1 min. Dibutyryl cyclic AMP, but not sodium azide inhibits induced Ca 2+ uptake, whereas dibutyryl cyclic GMP enhances it. B cell mitogens do not cause a similar Ca 2+ uptake in mouse B lymphocytes. The induction of increased Ca 2+ uptake by T cells is discussed in terms of gated membrane channels for Ca 2+ .
