    Abstract:
    We have previously described two patients with a congenital defect in neutrophil function characterized by an inability to form pus. The patients' neutrophils lack a membrane glycoprotein of mol wt 150,000 daltons (GP-150) on analysis by SDS-PAGE. This glycoprotein is part of a membrane antigen complex recognized by the murine monoclonal antibody (MoAb) 60.3. Addition of MoAb 60.3 to normal neutrophils produces defects in chemotaxis and phagocytosis in vitro similar to those observed in the patients. Since neutrophil adherence to vascular endothelium is prerequisite to neutrophil emigration in vivo, we examined the interaction of the patients' neutrophils and normal neutrophils treated with MoAb 60.3 with cultured endothelium. Adherence was determined as the percentage of 51Cr-labeled purified peripheral blood neutrophils which remained adherent to plastic wells or endothelial monolayers after a 45-minute incubation at 37 degrees C. The percentage of neutrophils from patient 1 remaining adherent to uncoated, fibronectin-coated, or laminin-coated plastic was similar to that observed in normal neutrophils (55% to 84% adherence with normal neutrophils v 73% to 78% adherence with the patient's neutrophils and 63% to 82% adherence with MoAb 60.3-treated normal neutrophils). The adherence of the neutrophils from patient 1 and MoAb 60.3-treated normal neutrophils to human or bovine endothelium in serum-free medium was also not significantly different from that observed in normal neutrophils (less than 10% adherence with normal, MoAb 60.3-treated, and patient neutrophils). In medium containing 10% autologous or heterologous human plasma, however, the adherence of neutrophils from patient 1 or MoAb 60.3-treated normal neutrophils to endothelial monolayers was significantly reduced (35% +/- 7% of normal neutrophils in seven experiments). Although phorbol myristate acetate (PMA) (10 ng/mL) and calcium ionophore A23187 (10(-5) mol/L) markedly increased the adherence of normal neutrophils to endothelial monolayers in serum-free medium (40% to 85% adherence), neither agent increased the adherence of the neutrophils from patient 1 or normal neutrophils treated with MoAb 60.3 (less than 5% adherence). The adherence of PMA-activated neutrophils from patient 2 to endothelial monolayers was also markedly decreased when compared with that of normal neutrophils. Postsecretory cell-free supernatants from PMA-activated normal neutrophils failed to augment adherence of neutrophils from patient 1 (less than 5% adherence).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)
