A human platelet lipoxygenase-generated product of arachidonic acid, identified by thin-layer chromatographic and mass spectrometric properties as 12-L-hydroxy-5,8,10,14-eicosatertraenoic acid (HETE), was selectively chemotactic in vitro for human polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMN), as compared to mononuclear leukocytes, with a preference for eosinophils. Preincubation of PMN with partially-purified HETE at peak chemotactic concentrations of 8-24 mug/ml reduced their random and chemotactic migration and stimulated the activity of their hexose monophosphate shunt; minimally chemotactic concentrations of 0.03-1 mug/ml enhanced PMN random migration without influencing other functions. HETE may thus be capable of preferentially attracting eosinophils to foci of tissue reaction associated with platelet activation.

Usage information is collected from two different sources: this site (JCI) and Pubmed Central (PMC). JCI information (compiled daily) shows human readership based on methods we employ to screen out robotic usage. PMC information (aggregated monthly) is also similarly screened of robotic usage.
Various methods are used to distinguish robotic usage. For example, Google automatically scans articles to add to its search index and identifies itself as robotic; other services might not clearly identify themselves as robotic, or they are new or unknown as robotic. Because this activity can be misinterpreted as human readership, data may be re-processed periodically to reflect an improved understanding of robotic activity. Because of these factors, readers should consider usage information illustrative but subject to change.
