Abstract
We measured the effects of recombinant human granulocyte-colony stimulating factor (rhG-CSF) on the adherence of human neutrophils by using a dacron fiber system to assay the adhesive ability of neutrophils. rhG-CSF enhanced neutrophil adherence to dacron fibers. N-formyl-methionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine (fMLP) induced neutrophil-neutrophil interaction (neutrophil aggregation) in addition to neutrophil-dacron interaction, whereas rhG-CSF did not cause neutrophil aggregation. These results indicated that rhG-CSF increases the adhesive ability of neutrophils without neutrophil-neutrophil interaction, and the action of rhG-CSF in neutrophil activation is different from the neutrophil activation caused by fMLP.Entities:
