Myelin basic protein inhibits formyl-peptide induced chemotaxis in human neutrophils. 1986

T Bellini, and F Dallocchio, and D Degani, and S Spisani, and R Gavioli, and S Traniello

Myelin basic protein, one of the major membrane protein component of the central nervous system, was used to probe the molecular mechanism of cellular activation. Pre-treatment of human neutrophils with myelin basic protein selectively inhibits the formyl-peptide-induced chemotaxis, without affecting chemotaxis evoked by casein and activated serum. Furthermore, both the degranulation and superoxide anion production stimulated by the chemotactic peptide are not modified by the prior treatment of the neutrophils with myelin basic protein.

D002118 Calcium A basic element found in nearly all tissues. It is a member of the alkaline earth family of metals with the atomic symbol Ca, atomic number 20, and atomic weight 40. Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the body and combines with phosphorus to form calcium phosphate in the bones and teeth. It is essential for the normal functioning of nerves and muscles and plays a role in blood coagulation (as factor IV) and in many enzymatic processes.
