LTB4 stimulates a number of leukocyte functions, including aggregation, stimulation of ion fluxes, enhancement of lysosomal enzyme release, superoxide anion production, chemotaxis, and chemokinesis. Plasma levels of LTB4 increase from <100 pg/ml to >100 ng/ml following leukocyte stimulation. LTB4 is metabolized in leukocytes and hepatocytes to less active 20-hydroxy and 20-carboxy LTB4 and then further oxidized to ω-carboxy dinor LTB4 and ω-carboxy tetranor-LTB3. LTB4 is not excreted in the urine. Caymans LTB4 Express ELISA Kit is a competitive assay that can be used for quantification of LTB4...
