The expression of C5a receptors (C5aR) on human leukocytes was evaluated by flow cytometry using fluorescein-labeled human C5a (C5a-F). Granulocytes and CD14+ mononuclear cells (MNL) but not CD3+, CD20+, CD16+, CD56+, or CD11b+ lymphocytes in peripheral blood and spleen bound C5a-F. C5a-F binding was saturable and inhibitable by anti-C5a monoclonal antibody (MoAb) C17/5 or unlabeled C5a. During...
