Table 3.

Release of AA by neutrophils

Neutrophils [3H]AA release (%)
Mean ± SD (n)
NT GM-CSF
 CT a 6.3 ± 4.8 (16) 10.8 ± 5.7 (16)b
 CF 4.1 ± 3.3 (15) 5.4 ± 2.0 (15)

a CT: NT vs GM-CSF, p < 0.01

b GM-CSF: CT vs CF, p < 0.02.

The release of [3H]AA into the medium by neutrophils isolated from control subjects (CT) and patients with cystic fibrosis (CF) was measured in resting cells (NT) and after stimulation with GM-CSF (0.2 nM). Data are expressed as a percentage of the total radioactivity incorporated into the cells.
