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…
