چکیده
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMNs) act as a first line of defense against bacterial infections. Recent studies indicated that PMNs could act as antigen-presenting cells. The aim of this study was to detect the expression of major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II and certain molecules and receptors (CD83, CD64, and CD14) on the surface of PMNs stimulated with interleukin (IL)-15. METHODS PMNs were isolated from heparinized whole blood of healthy volunteers. Cells were incubated for 48 h at 37 degrees C in a humidified incubator with 5% carbon dioxide. After incubation for 48 h with and without IL-15, surface molecules were assayed by cytofluorometry. RESULTS Stimulation with IL-15 produced an increase in the expression of MHC class II and upregulation of the costimulatory molecules CD83, the immunoglobulin G receptor CD64, and the lipopolysaccharide receptor CD14 on the surface of PMNs. CONCLUSIONS The expression of MHC class II, CD83, CD64, and CD14 indicates that PMNs may be involved in both innate and acquired immunity.

OBJECTIVES To investigate infiltrated cells in the synovial fluid (SF) of inflamed joints of patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), with special reference to polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMN) and their interaction with T cells. METHODS Expression on PMN of activation associated receptors CD14, CD64, CD83, and major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II was examined in the SF of 15 pat...
متن کاملInduction of interleukin-8 in human neutrophils after MHC class II cross-linking with superantigens.
Neutrophils have been shown to express major histocompatibility complex class II (MHC II) after stimulation. However, reports concerning the functional effect of MCH II expression are still lacking. In our hands, granulocyte-monocyte colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) alone and in combination with interferon (IFN)-gamma, but not IFN-gamma or interleukin (IL)-3, induced a significant level of ex...
متن کاملEffect of Neutrophils on Nitric Oxide Production from Stimulated Macrophages
Background: During the initial phase of an infection, there is an upregulation of inducible nitric oxide synthase in the macrophages for the production of nitric oxide. This is followed by the recruitment of polymorphonuclear leukocytes (neutrophils) which release arginase. Arginase competes with inducible nitric oxide synthase for a common substrate L-arginine. Objective: To investigate whethe...

This study evaluates the ability of Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG (LGG) to activate DC and neutrophils and modulate T cell activation and the impact of bacterial dose on these responses. Murine bone marrow derived DC or neutrophils were stimulated with LGG at ratios of 5 : 1, 10 : 1, and 100 : 1 (LGG : cells) and DC maturation (CD40, CD80, CD86, CD83, and MHC class II) and cytokine production (IL-...
متن کاملEndocarditis-associated oral streptococci promote rapid differentiation of monocytes into mature dendritic cells.
Endocarditis is frequently attributable to oral streptococci, but mechanisms of pathogenesis are not well understood, although monocytes appear to be important. High titers of interleukin-12 (IL-12) are produced by peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) after engaging Streptococcus mutans, but monocytes in developing endocardial vegetations tend to disappear rather than become macrophages. T...
