Summary of Kinetic Parameters of Transport of Chloride in Neutrophil Phagosomes of Normal and CF Neutrophilsa

Extracellular medium change from 0 mM to 135 mM CI
Extracellular medium change from 135 mM to 0 mM Cl
Initial influx rate mM/s Steady-state [Cl]PL (mM) Initial efflux rate mM/s Steady-state [Cl]PL (mM)
Normal controls (n = 5) 0.31 ± 0.04 67.7 ± 7.3 −0.26 ± 0.05 15.9 ± 4.3
Normals GlyH-101 (n = 5) 0.013 ± 0.067b 27.7 ± 4.4b −0.095 ± 0.022c 12.9 ± 4.2
CF (n = 5) 0.043 ± 0.012b 25.5 ± 3.3b −0.063 ± 0.13c 17.0 ± 3.3
a

The influx rate represents the maximal initial slope of the chloride change in mM/s after changing the medium from NaGlu R (0 mM chloride) to NaCl R (135 mM chloride) at the 10-min mark. The efflux rate represents the opposite rate (hence, indicated by negative signs) when the buffer was changed from NaCl R (135 mM chloride) to NaGlu R (0 mM chloride) at the 20-min mark. The steady-state [Cl]PL represents the phagosomal chloride level 10 min after each respective buffer change.
