Abstract
When human PMN were plated on fetal calf serum-coated polystyrene surfaces, addition of TNF-alpha, FMLP or PMA elicited adhesion and H2O2 formation. These effects of TNF-alpha and FMLP, but not of PMA, were impaired by removal of extracellular Ca2+. In addition, H2O2 formation induced by FMLP but not by TNF-alpha or PMA was inhibited by prior treatment with pertussis toxin (250-500 ng/ml). Thus, although the sequelae of TNF-alpha-receptor interaction on human PMN remain to be characterized in detail, they do not involve a pertussis toxin-sensitive GTP-binding protein.Entities:
