Cellular mechanisms of reactive oxygen metabolite generation from human polymorphonuclear leukocytes induced by crocidolite asbestos
…an enhancement. We conclude that crocidolite-induced ROM generation involves a cell surface reaction due to influx of extracellular calcium through calcium channels and the activation of NADPH oxidase on the PMN cell membrane. This hypothesis…

Chemiluminescent detection of induced reactive oxygen metabolite production of human polymorphonuclear leucocytes by anthophyllite asbestos
…tyrosine kinase, which resides in the pathway to cause PMN activation. The strong ROM reaction of PMN by anthophyllite suggests that the surface characteristics of the fiber may participate in the pathogenic mechanisms of anthophyllite asbestos.
