Exposure of rabbit polymorphonuclear leukocytes to micromolar concentrations of quin 2-AM results in high intracellular concentrations of quin2, which lead to inhibition of chemotaxis. The loading efficiency of polymorphonuclear leukocytes, being the percentage of quin2-AM which is taken up by the cells and transformed intracellularly into quin2, is very high, reaches a maximum after 30 min, is independent of the presence of extracellular Ca2+ and is fairly independent of cell concentration. As a consequence, inhibition of chemotaxis is strongly dependent on experimental conditions: with a low cell density (3 .cntdot. 106/min) exposure to 20 .mu.M quin2-AM results in complete inhibition of chemotaxis, whereas the same concentration of quin2-AM is nearly without effect when an 8-fold higher cell concentration is used. Inhibition by quin2 is dependent on extracellular Ca2+; inhibition is more pronounced in the absence of extracellular Ca2+ than in its presence. It is suggested that quin2 inhibits chemotaxis by interference with intracellular Ca2+.
