RESUMO
The effect of the calcium ionophore A23187 on the release and metabolism of [3H]arachidonic acid was examined in normal polymorphonuclear leukocytes and those obtained from patients with chronic granulomatous disease. The ionophore A23187 which stimulates oxidative metabolism in normal polymorphonuclear leukocytes was ineffective in increasing oxidative metabolism (chemiluminescence) in polymorphonuclear leukocytes from patients with chronic granulomatous disease. However, the ionophore A23187 stimulated the release of [3H]arachidonic acid from chronic granulomatous disease neutrophil phospholipids and stimulated its metabolism into hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acids and leukotrienes.
