Popis: We have examined the role of CD66 in the modulation of neutrophil adhesion and effector function. Engagement of neutrophil CD66 with anti-carcinoembryonic antigen (anti-CEA) Ig results in activation-associated phenomena including shape change, activation of β2-integrins, and priming of the respiratory burst. Anti-CEA Ig-treated neutrophils underwent transient shape change distinct from that induced by formyl-Met-Leu-Phe (fMLP). fMLP stimulated β2-integrin up-regulation and 70% loss of L-selectin, whereas only low-level up-regulation of the β2-integrins, without loss of L-selectin, occurred with anti-CEA Ig. Anti-CEA F(ab’)2 fragments and whole Ig augmented β2-integrin-dependent adhesion. Anti-CEA Ig-induced β2-integrin activation was transient, whereas fMLP-induced activation persisted longer. Although they did not cause a significant increase in respiratory burst activity, CEA Ig and F(ab’)2 fragments of antibody primed neutrophils so that the subsequent fMLP-induced respiratory burst was significantly increased.
