title: Inhibition of the CD3-mediated calcium signal by protein kinase C activators in human T (Jurkat) lymphoblastoid cells.
abstract: The changes in the cytoplasmic free calcium concentrations (Cai) were investigated in human T (Jurkat) lymphoblastoid cells, loaded with the calcium-sensitive fluorescent dye Indo-1. A rapid increase in Cai could be evoked by monoclonal antibodies (mAb) directed against the CD3 antigen, as well as by the mitogenic lectin concanavalin A (conA). The protein kinase C (pKC) activators TPA and DiC8 did not increase Cai, but the addition of any of these two compounds prior to mAb eliminated the mAb-induced calcium signal. In contrast, the calcium signal evoked by ConA was not blocked by TPA or DiC8. These results suggest that the CD3-dependent calcium signal is selectively down-regulated by the activation of pKC.
