Abstract
The leukotriene production by bovine polymorphonuclear leukocytes isolated from peripheral blood has been studied. Cells were incubated in the presence of arachidonic acid, glutathione, calcium ionophore A23187 and Ca2+. The leukotrienes then formed are leukotriene C4, leukotriene B4, two all-trans isomers of leukotriene B4 and the double dioxygenation product 12-epi-6-trans-8-cis-leukotriene
