Concentrations of concanavalin A or the calcium ionophore A23187 that are optimal for the transformation of pig or mouse lymphocytes do not normally cause a measurable increase in calcium influx compared with unstimulated cells. If the cells are treated with the mitogens in conditions where a measurable increase in calcium influx occurs, no stimulation of the cells can occur while the flux is maintained. If any early influx of extracellular calcium is necessary for stimulation, then a much smaller increase in the total concentration of cellular calcium than reported previously is sufficient to allow the entry of lymphocytes into the cell cycle.
