The effect of mitogenic lectins and the mitogenic antibody UCHT1 on the cytoplasmic free Ca2+ concentration ( [Ca2+]i) in human lymphocytes was investigated by using the fluorescent Ca2+-indicator quin2 . Phytohaemagglutinin, concanavalin A and UCHT1 increased [Ca2+]i in T-cells to a maximum level within 2 min. No T-cell response was seen with poke weed mitogen. None of the mitogens affected non-T-cell [Ca2+]i.
