Abstract

Neutrophil adherence to matrix proteins likely plays an important role in inflammatory responses. Antineutrophil cytoplasm antibodies may activate neutrophils in certain diseases. Using an in vitro method that allows simultaneous quantitation of neutrophil adherence and superoxide secretion, we compared the effects of antibodies against neutrophil granule proteins and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha), a known neutrophil agonist. Antilactoferrin antibodies but not antielastase or antimyeloperoxidase antibodies stimulated increased adherence to fibronectin and laminin similar in degree to that induced by TNF-alpha. This, but not the simultaneous superoxide secretion, was inhibited in the presence of anti-CD18 antibodies. Humoral immune responses to lactoferrin, likely expressed on the neutrophil surface, can activate neutrophils in proinflammatory responses that may be pathogenic.
