Influence of granulocyte antibodies on granulocyte function

The following substances were tested for their influence on granulocyte function: 8 sera that contained human granulocyte-specific alloantibodies against the antigens NA1, NA2 and NB1, two HLA antisera, and the monoclonal antibodies W6/32 and CLB-FcR-gran 1. The effects examined included spontaneous and directed migration, immune phagocytosis inhibition and the generation of oxygen radicals. Using the under-agarose technique, spontaneous migration of sensitized granulocytes was normal. For all antibodies tested, the chemotactic index for N-fMLP, LTB4 and opsonized zymosan was greater than 1. Granulocyte immune phagocytosis of sensitized sheep red blood cells was strongly inhibited by all alloantisera and monoclonal antibodies. The generation of oxygen radicals after triggering the respiratory burst with sensitized sheep red blood cells was also strongly inhibited in the chemiluminescence assay. Immune phagocytosis and chemiluminescent response of granulocytes lacking the corresponding antigen of the tested alloantibodies were not affected. Since sensitization of neutrophils with F(ab')2 fragments of the monoclonal antibodies W6/32 and CLB-FcR-gran 1 showed lower inhibition of generation of oxygen radicals after triggering, Fc-dependent interaction with the target cells seems to be necessary for inhibition. Our results suggest that binding of NA1-, NA2- or NB1-specific alloantibodies to granulocytes not only causes neutropenia, but also impairs granulocyte function.
