RESUMO
Exposure of human polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMN) to chemotactic factor, as well as the migration of PMN through a 5-μm pore-size membrane, results in a PMN population with enhanced chemiluminescence, enhanced capacity for superoxide anion production, and increased Escherichia coli bactericidal activity. The enhanced PMN response resulting from exposure to chemotactic factor was observed with several chemotactic stimuli, including a mixture of casein and autologous serum, chemotactic C5 fragment, and formyl-l-methionyl-l-leucine-l-phenylalanine (f-Met-Leu-Phe). Enhanced levels of chemiluminescence were observed with both soluble stimuli (concanavalin A and phorbol myristate acetate) as well as particulate stimuli (opsonized zymosan).
