| Abstract | Human granulocytes (polymorphonuclear leukocytes) exposed to surface stimuli [e.g., immune complexes, concanavalin A (Con A)] generate O(2).(-), undergo a respiratory burst, and secrete lysosomal enzymes. To study the earliest reaction of ligands with surface receptors of granulocytes, purified cells were exposed to bovine serum albumin-anti-albumin complexes (Fc receptors) or Con A (glycoprotein receptors). The membrane potential (DeltaPsi) was measured by distribution of the lipophilic cation [(3)H]triphenylmethyl phosphonium ion. The Nernst equation yielded a resting DeltaPsi of -26.7 mV. Beginning within 10 sec after exposure to the antigen-antibody complex or to Con A, the cells responded with a rapid hyperpolarization --> depolarization --> slow hyperpolarization. Even when phagocytosis was inhibited by cytochalasin B, the triphasic response was obtained: evidence for surface interaction. The hyperpolarization response anteceded O(2).(-) generation (continuous recording) by at least 20-30 sec. O(2).(-) generation in response to immune complexes was stimulated by Ca(2+) whereas DeltaPsi remained unchanged; lack of Ca(2+) in the medium did not inhibit the DeltaPsi response. Dissociation of membrane hyperpolarization from subsequent metabolic responses (O(2).(-) generation) was also found in the presence of steroids (hydrocortisone, methylprednisolone), which inhibited O(2).(-) generation but did not inhibit the DeltaPsi response to antigen-antibody complex. Because O(2).(-) generation could be stimulated (Ca(2+)) or depressed (steroids) without affecting DeltaPsi, the data suggest that DeltaPsi is involved in primary triggering of phagocytic cells and that metabolic stimulation is a secondary consequence of ligand-receptor interactions. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
