title: Effect of cholera enterotoxin on calcium uptake and cyclic AMP accumulation in rat basophilic leukemia cells.
abstract: Cholera enterotoxin (CT), at an optimal concentration of 2.38 X 10(-10) M, stimulated calcium uptake (P less than 0.01) and cyclic AMP accumulation (P less than 0.02) in cultured rat basophilic leukemia cells. No significant effect of CT on calcium release or cyclic GMP accumulation was detected. Pharmacologic and chemical agents which block calcium uptake or prostaglandin synthesis antagonized the effect of CT.
