Failure of interleukin-1 to induce intracellular calcium fluxes in K562 cells.
The ability of interleukin-1 to induce calcium fluxes in K562 cells, was examined using flow cytometry and the calcium chelator Indo-1. Over a period of up to 40 minutes, interleukin-1 failed to cause any significant change in the concentration of intracellular calcium in K562 cells.
