| 1 | The specific binding of [3H]WEB 2086, a specific ligand for PAF-R, to eosinophils treated with 5 ng/ml of IL-5 for 12 h was significantly higher than that to untreated cells. | Tritium | platelet activating factor receptor | Homo sapiens |
| 2 | Furthermore, we found that the PAF-induced increase in intracellular calcium ion concentration in eosinophils was markedly augmented by exposure to IL-5 for 12 h. Several lines of data suggest that the enhanced expression of PAF-R on eosinophils due to IL-5 is the cause of the augmented response to PAF. | Calcium | platelet activating factor receptor | Homo sapiens |
