BzATP does not cause astrocyte cell lysis. Astrocytes were incubated with BzATP for 6 min in standard BSS (left) or Ca²⁺/Mg²⁺-free BSS (right). Cell survival was assessed by measuring intracellular LDH content in the cultures either immediately or 24 hr after the 6 min incubations. There was no significant change in LDH content under any of these conditions. Error bars indicate SE;n = 8.
