Abstract excerpt
The physiologically active form of vitamin D, 1 alpha,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 (1,25D3), induces promyelocytic HL60 cells to differentiate towards monocyte-like cells. During this differentiation increased cytosolic calcium (Cai2+) and expression of surface receptors for chemotactic factors "prime" the cell for the activation of monocyte functions and the triggering of the respiratory burst pathway. We examined...
