Fig 6 - Ca2+-induced exocytosis in individual human neutrophils: High- and low-affinity granule populations and submaximal responses

Fig. 6. Submaximal secretion at suboptimal stimulation. ( A and B ) Illustration of the time course of a calculated capacitance increase over time (C t ) following a first order reaction: C t ϭ C max *(1 – e –t/ τ ) Complete secretion corresponds to 100%. Variations in the speed, τ (A), or in the amplitude, C max (B), of the reaction are modelled. ( C and D ) Measured mean capacitance traces of 4–7 patched neutrophils per [Ca 2 ϩ ] pip condition. ( E and F ) Mean rate of exocytosis over the fraction of granules secreted ( ∆ C m /C total ; total ϭ 7.5 pF) derived from the mean traces in (C) and (D). The fraction of 0.3 (30%) of the total, as obtained with 10 μ M (E) and 60 μ M [Ca 2 ϩ ] pip (F), corresponds to the maximal release of phase 1, 2.25 pF.
