Figure 5.

The molar ratio between cPLA2 and NADPH oxidase in the membranes of stimulated cells. Samples of recombinant cPLA2 or p47phox and membranes (bottom inset) of neutrophils stimulated with 1 mg/ml OZ, 5 × 10−7 M fMLP for 1 min or 50 ng/ml PMA for 3 min (top inset) were analyzed by SDS-PAGE electrophoresis. 2 × 106 cell membrane equivalents were applied per lane. The Western blots were analyzed using quantitative densitometry, and the relative optical density of each band was plotted against the amount of protein added per lane. The correlation coefficient for the cPLA2 standard curve is 0.99 and for the p47phox standard curve is 0.92. The quantities of cPLA2 and p47phox in membranes of stimulated cells were determined from the standard curves. The results are from one representative experiment out of three presenting identical results.
