OBJECTIVE Previously we reported that a synthetic peptide, WKYMVm, stimulates phosphoinositide (PI) hydrolysis in several hematopoietic cell lines and human neutrophils. In addition, the peptide induces superoxide generation in human neutrophils. The biochemical stimulation appeared to be mediated by specific receptors on leukocytes. In this report we try to find whether the specific receptor(s) exists on specific types of cells in human leukocytes. METHODS To study distribution of the peptide-specific receptors, we prepared a probe, biotin-labeled WKYMVm, and analyzed distribution of the peptide receptor using a biochemical study, cytochemical staining, and flow cytometric analysis. RESULTS The peptide-specific receptors are expressed in several human leukocytes including granulocytes, monocytes, and B-lymphocytes but not T-lymphocytes and erythrocytes. CONCLUSIONS These data suggest that the receptors for the peptide restricted to certain types of leukocytes and this specificity is probably related to the specific functions of the stimulated leukocytes.

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.

D013601 T-Lymphocytes Lymphocytes responsible for cell-mediated immunity. Two types have been identified - cytotoxic (T-LYMPHOCYTES, CYTOTOXIC) and helper T-lymphocytes (T-LYMPHOCYTES, HELPER-INDUCER). They are formed when lymphocytes circulate through the THYMUS GLAND and differentiate to thymocytes. When exposed to an antigen, they divide rapidly and produce large numbers of new T cells sensitized to that antigen.
