Characterization of the Hypercitrullination Reaction in Human Neutrophils and Other Leukocytes by Yebin Zhou, Tiziana Di Pucchio, Gary P. Sims, Nanette Mittereder, Tomas Mustelin

“…This response required 250–1,000 μM extracellular calcium and was prevented by EDTA. Other neutrophil activating stimuli, such as formyl-peptides, GM-CSF, IL-6, IL8, TNFα, or phorbol ester, did not induce any detectable increase in protein citrullination, suggesting that receptor-induced calcium mobilization is insufficient to trigger hypercitrullination. …”
