Abstract
Normal human blood neutrophils were studied for their capacity to synthesize leukotriene B4 (LTB4) and its omega-oxidized metabolites after phagocytosis of zymosan. Phagocytosis of serum-opsonized particles led to a higher release of LTs than did unopsonized zymosan. The most striking effect of phagocytosis was observed when neutrophils were primed with granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF): opsonization and GM-CSF synergistically increased LTB4 synthesis by neutrophils.Entities:
