A monoclonal antibody-defined membrane antigen complex is required for
neutrophil-neutrophil aggregation
BR Schwartz, HD Ochs, PG Beatty and JM Harlan
We examined the aggregation responses of normal neutrophils treated with
the murine monoclonal antibody (MoAb) 60.3. Addition of MoAb 60.3 to normal
neutrophils produced dose-dependent inhibition of neutrophil aggregation in
response to phorbol myristate acetate, zymosan-activated plasma, and
N-formyl-methionylleucylphenylalanine. We conclude that the membrane
glycoprotein complex recognized by MoAb 60.3--designated CDw18- -is
required for neutrophil-neutrophil aggregation in vitro.
