Abstract
Activated T lymphocytes can provide all of the signals necessary to induce the proliferation of resting B lymphocytes. The activation signal is presumably initiated through direct T-B lymphocyte contact. The role of the leukocyte function antigen-1 (LFA-1) and T4 molecules in the activation of purified, small B lymphocytes by mitomycin C-treated T lymphocytes was examined by using monoclonal antibodies that react with and inhibit the function of these molecules. Anti-LFA-1 antibody binding significantly inhibited T-B lymphocyte interactions that result in B lymphocyte proliferation. In contrast, the presence of anti-T4 antibodies at concentrations as high as 100 micrograms/ml did not inhibit this interaction. These results indicate that the B lymphocyte activation signal may not be mediated through the interaction of T4 molecules with major histocompatibility complex class II antigens of the B lymphocyte but is a cell-cell contact-dependent event that is facilitated by LFA-1 molecules.

Abstract
Thermal injury is well known to inhibit functions of the circulating neutrophil related to its role in host defense against infection, but the mechanism(s) of this phenomenon are not fully understood. To gain further clues to these mechanisms, the authors have studied patients with thermal injury in terms of altered expression of neutrophil cell membrane receptors for the opsonic complement-derived ligand C3bi--complement receptor Type 3, or CR3. CR3 expression was selected for study because an increase in the number of receptors on the cell surface can be stimulated by products of complement activation known to accumulate after thermal injury and because of the role of CR3 in phagocytic and adherence functions of the neutrophil. Expression of CR3 was monitored semiquantitatively by flow cytometry with the use of a murine monoclonal antibody (OKM1) specific for an antigen (CD11) associated with this receptor. Patients evaluated were limited in this study to those with minor degrees of thermal injury (second-degree burn involving less than 20% of total body surface area) so that possible confounding effects of major injury and its complications could be eliminated. It was observed that patient neutrophil CR3 becomes significantly up-regulated during the first week, as early as 1 day after injury. The maximum level of expression of CR3 averaged greater than 150% (range, 70-314%) of the respective minimum level observed for each patient. The minimum levels of expression of CR3 on patient neutrophils, reached 11-37 days after injury for 7 of 8 patients, were comparable to the level of expression of CR3 on unstimulated control neutrophils. Such temporal up-regulation of patient neutrophil CR3 suggests the early generation of stimuli of CR3 mobilization in response to thermal injury. Increased numbers of CR3 on patient neutrophils may augment microbicidal function and enhance or inhibit delivery of cells to the burn site.

Abstract
Human and bovine cultured cell lines and circulating leukocytes were examined for the presence of surface proteins similar to platelet glycoproteins IIb (GPIIb) and IIIa (GPIIIa). Human endothelial cells, smooth muscle cells, and MG-63 fibroblast-like cells were found to have surface proteins that cross-reacted with platelet GPIIb and GPIIIa antibodies, existed as complexes, and had molecular weights similar to those of the corresponding platelet glycoproteins. Bovine endothelial cells and smooth muscle cells also expressed GPIIb- and GPIIIa-like surface proteins. Metabolic labeling studies with [35S]methionine demonstrated that the cultured cells synthesized these glycoproteins. The GPIIIa-like protein in human endothelial and smooth muscle cells had the same isoelectric point as platelet GPIIIa, whereas their GPIIb alpha-like protein was slightly more acidic than platelet GPIIb alpha (pI = 5.2-5.3 versus 5.5). Platelet and endothelial cell GPIIb alpha (but not GPIIIa) showed an increased electrophoretic mobility in Ca2+ -containing versus EDTA-containing gels, implying a Ca2+ -GPIIb alpha interaction. The amino acid sequence of the amino termini of platelet GPIIb alpha and GPIIb beta and of the alpha chains of the leukocyte LFA-1 and Mac-1 glycoprotein complexes had significant sequence homology. These data indicate that glycoproteins that have either immunological cross-reactivity or amino-terminal sequence homology with the platelet GPIIb-IIIa complex are widely distributed in human and non-human adherent cells and circulating leukocytes and suggest that these proteins may be the products of a large gene family whose expression is cell specific.

Abstract
DNA from a tertiary mouse cell transformant containing amplified human sequences encoding a human myeloid membrane glycoprotein, gp150, was used to construct a bacteriophage lambda library. A single recombinant phage containing 12 kilobases (kb) of human DNA was isolated, and molecular subclones were then used to isolate the complete gp150 gene from a human placental genomic DNA library. The intact gp150 gene, assembled from three recombinant phages, proved to be biologically active when transfected into NIH 3T3 cells. Molecular probes from the gp150 locus annealed with a 4.0-kb polyadenylated RNA transcript derived from human myeloid cell lines and from tertiary mouse cell transformants. The gp150 gene was assigned to human chromosome 15, and was subchromosomally localized to bands q25-26 by in situ hybridization. The chromosomal location of the gp150 gene coincides cytogenetically with the region assigned to the c-fes proto-oncogene, another human gene specifically expressed by myeloid cells.

Abstract
Lymphocyte function associated antigen 1 (LFA-1) is a leukocyte cell adhesion protein. We have studied a novel human immunodeficiency disease in which LFA-1 and two other proteins which share the same beta subunit are lacking from the surface of leukocytes. The basis of the inherited defect in cell surface expression of both the alpha and beta subunits of LFA-1 was determined by somatic cell fusion of patient or normal human cells with an LFA-1+ mouse T cell line. Human LFA-1 alpha and beta subunits from normal cells could associate with mouse LFA-1 subunits to form interspecies hybrid alpha beta complexes. Surface expression of the alpha but not the beta subunit of patient cells was rescued by the formation of interspecies complexes. The findings show that the LFA-1 alpha subunit in genetically deficient cells is competent for surface expression in the presence of an appropriate beta subunit, and suggest that the genetic lesion affects the beta subunit. The human LFA-1 alpha and beta subunits were mapped to chromosomes 16 and 21, respectively. The genetic defect is inferred to be on chromosome 21.

Abstract
Tetrandrine is a plant alkaloid useful in the treatment of silicosis. Its mode of action is unknown, but results of the present study show dose-dependent inhibition of human neutrophil and monocyte adherence at concentrations (0.1-10 micrograms/ml) easily achieved in plasma during drug therapy. Monocytes were shown to be more sensitive to tetrandrine than neutrophils. Dye-exclusion experiments indicate that tetrandrine is non-toxic to these cells at 10 micrograms/ml concentrations. Suppression of adherence was reversible by washing, suggesting that the drug does not bind tightly to membrane components. Enhancement of adherence by the tumour promoter, phorbol myristate acetate, was abolished by tetrandrine. The uptake of deoxyglucose by neutrophils and monocytes was suppressed by tetrandrine. These results indicate that tetrandrine may act by interfering with the recruitment of these cells into silicotic lesions.

Abstract
To determine the effect of complement on the normal antibody response we studied seven patients with genetically determined complement component deficiencies, guinea pigs deficient of C4 and C2, respectively, and two patients whose neutrophils and monocytes lack the C3bi receptor. Patients deficient of early complement components (C4, C2, C3) have abnormal antibody responses to the T-cell-dependent antigen, bacteriophage phi X 174. Complement-deficient guinea pigs (C4, C2) produce less antibody than normal guinea pigs and are unable to maintain measurable antibody levels; during secondary immunization they fail to develop amplification and to switch from IgM to IgG. This defect can be overcome by increasing the antigen dose or by injecting normal guinea pig serum at the time of the primary (but not the secondary) immunization. Patients with deficiency of the C3bi receptor were shown to have a significantly depressed antibody response to T-dependent antigens. We postulate that the contribution of complement to the mature humoral immune response is related to activation of C3. The initial production of IgM following antigen injection leads to antigen-antibody complexes which interact with complement, to be nonspecifically trapped by C3b and C3bi receptors on B cells or macrophages. Thus antigen is selectively accumulated within the lymphoid organs and in turn may entrap antigen-specific B cells by interaction of the trapped antigen with surface immunoglobulin. As a result, close approximation between antigen, antibody, and a network of specific and nonspecific lymphoid cells is initiated, allowing generation of specific memory cells and initiation of a prompt mature antibody response on subsequent exposure to antigen.

Abstract
Over the last 3 years a group of more than 20 patients has been described worldwide who have a similar history of recurrent bacterial infections and an inherited deficiency of three related leukocyte membrane surface antigens known as CR3, LFA-1 (lymphocyte function-associated antigen type 1), and p150,95 (function unknown). These antigens share a common beta-chain structure linked noncovalently to one of three distinct alpha-chain types. It is believed that the patients with this disease have a reduced or absent ability to synthesize the common beta subunit of the antigen family, resulting in absent or reduced expression of all three antigen family members on different leukocyte types. Neutrophils have a reduced phagocytic and respiratory burst response to bacteria and yeast as well as a reduced ability to adhere to various substrates and migrate into sites of infection. In vitro functional studies of normal neutrophils, monocytes, and lymphocytes treated with monoclonal antibodies to the individual alpha and beta chains of these antigens suggest that most of the clinical features of the patients may be due to the neutrophil and monocyte deficiency of CR3. Although natural killer-cell activity is diminished or absent, no immune deficiency of the patients' lymphocytes attributable to the absence of LFA-1 has been detected. Diagnosis of this disease has been facilitated by the commercial availability of monoclonal antibodies specific for the alpha chains of CR3 and p150,95.

Abstract
Membrane and intracellular processing of the LFA-1 macromolecular complex, known to be involved in cytolytic function of T lymphocytes, was investigated in a child with recurrent bacterial infections, impaired natural killer activity, T cell-mediated lymphocytolysis and absent adhesion and migration of phagocytic cells. Monoclonal antibodies to the LFA-1 alpha and beta subunits, able to precipitate the LFA-1 alpha, 180-kDa chain, the p151 chain and beta 94-kDa chain (shared by both alpha chains), were used in immunoprecipitation studies of patient and control phytohemagglutinin-blasts. Neither of the alpha chains nor the beta chain were found in precipitates obtained from 125I-surface-labeled patient cells in contrast to controls. However, the precursor of the LFA-1 alpha chain, a 170-kDa polypeptide, was identified in lysates of biosynthetically labeled patients' cells. These results suggest that the defective membrane expression of the LFA-1 complex may be secondary to the absence of the mature beta chain.

Abstract
Two monoclonal antibodies, designated MRC OX-41 and MRC OX-42, have been shown to label subsets of macrophages. Using immunoperoxidase and immunofluorescence analysis, tissue macrophages were shown to be heterogeneous with respect to binding of MRC OX-41 and MRC OX-42 antibodies. Although both antibodies labelled subsets of macrophages, the antibodies also reacted with granulocytes and dendritic cells. The antigens recognized by these antibodies were identified by metabolic and cell surface labelling followed by immunoprecipitation and sodium dodecyl sulphate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE). MRC OX-41 recognized a surface protein of 110,000-120,000 MW, while MRC OX-42 immunoprecipitated three polypeptides with molecular weights of 160,000, 103,000 and 95,000. The Fab fragment of MRC OX-42 antibody inhibited complement-mediated rosette formation between sensitized erythrocytes and rat macrophages and granulocytes. Membrane molecules with similar biochemical and functional properties to MRC OX-42 antigen have been identified in mouse and man as the receptors for iC3b, and it is probable that MRC OX-42 antibody recognizes the rat homologue of the receptors in these other species.

Abstract
RM2.184, a mouse IgG2a monoclonal antibody, recognizes a polymorphic determinant on the complement receptor for C3bi which is present on granulocytes and monocytes. The RM2.184 epitope is distinct from the monomorphic determinant recognized by the monoclonal antibody OKM1. The RM2.184 epitope is probably on the alpha subunit and dependent on the association of the alpha and beta subunits for its configuration, as it can not be detected after the subunits have been dissociated. The phenotypic frequency of the RM2.184 antigen is approximately 14%, and its segregation in families is independent of HLA and consistent with an autosomal co-dominant mode of inheritance.

Abstract
To clarify the biological activity of complement solubilized immune complexes, we studied their interaction with mouse peritoneal macrophages. The solubilized complexes lost their binding affinity for C3b receptor and Fc receptor but still bound to MPM mainly via the C3bi receptor (CR3). When solubilized immune complexes were injected into mice, they were more rapidly removed from the circulation than antigen excess soluble complexes and taken up by the liver Kupffer cells. Therefore, the solubilized complexes could be catabolized by the reticuloendothelial system, mainly in the liver. Probably, CR3 plays an important role in this process.

Abstract
Monoclonal antibody (mAb) anti-Leu M5 reacts with a two-chain molecule composed of a 150-kDa alpha subunit noncovalently associated with a 95-kDa beta subunit and probably is specific for an epitope on the 150-kDa alpha chain. This p150/95 antigen is the third member of a family of polypeptides sharing a common 95-kDa beta chain, which includes the lymphocyte function-associated antigen LFA-1 (p177/95) and complement receptor CR3 (Mo1/MAC-1/OKM1; p165/95) antigens. Sequential immunoprecipitation with anti-p95 beta chain mAb specifically removed the antigens detected by anti-LFA-1, anti-CR3 and anti-Leu M5 mAb. Certain patients with recurrent bacterial infections are genetically deficient in expression of the LFA-1 and Mo1 antigens, and have impaired granulocyte function. Granulocytes from a patient with this disease also failed to react with anti-Leu M5. Stimulation of normal granulocytes with f-Met-Leu-Phe, C5a-desArg, or calcium ionophore resulted in increased expression of Mo1 and Leu M5 antigens on the cell surface, but did not significantly increase expression of LFA-1 antigen. In functional assays, anti-Leu M5 did not inhibit T cell-mediated or natural killer cell-mediated cytotoxicity. In addition, anti-Leu M5 neither inhibited the binding of complement-coated particles to CR1 or CR3 nor did it affect the binding of EC3dg to neutrophils (CR4). These studies clearly indicate that the p150/95 antigen recognized by the anti-Leu M5 antibody is a structurally distinct member of the LFA-1/CR3 family.

Abstract
A monoclonal antibody, M522, reacting with human monocytes, neutrophils and a proportion of non-adherent PBL in a pattern similar to OKM-1 and anti-Mo-1, and precipitating a dimer of MW 165,000 and 100,000 from neutrophils, was shown to react with C3 at an epitope localized on the alpha-chain of C3. F(ab)2-fragments of M522 stimulate the respiratory burst of neutrophils and monocytes. M522 differs from two monoclonal antibodies against the Mo-1 molecule with respect to the capacity to inhibit the binding of sheep erythrocytes coated with different C3-fragments to C-receptor carrying cells. It inhibited the binding of H-coated particles to B-lymphoid cells and precipitated a 50,000 MW molecule from RAJI cells and tonsil lymphocytes. The results obtained suggest an antigenic relationship between the alpha-chain of C3, the heavy chain of a membrane molecule involved in neutrophil/monocyte activation, and a B-cell molecule of MW 50,000.

Abstract
The regulation of expression of two human granulocyte functional antigens (GFA-1 and GFA-2) was examined. N-formylmethionylleucylphenylalanine (fMet-Leu-Phe) caused a rapid, dose-dependent enhancement of the expression of these antigens, 2- to 4-fold within 30 min, but not of another surface structure, beta 2-microglobulin. Pretreatment of the cells with cytochalasin B at 5 micrograms/ml further enhanced the effect of fMet-Leu-Phe on the expression of GFA-2, raising its surface expression 11-fold. Lipopolysaccharide also stimulated the expression of GFA-1 and GFA-2. The effect of lipopolysaccharide was less than that of fMet-Leu-Phe and was more marked on GFA-1 than on GFA-2. Pretreatment of neutrophils with fMet-Leu-Phe not only stimulated their cytotoxic activity against antibody-coated target cells but also increased their capacity to be stimulated by monoclonal antibodies to GFA-1 and GFA-2. These findings show that the expression of functional surface structures on human neutrophils is subject to rapid and selective regulation.

Abstract
Major surface-iodinated proteins of Mr 105,000 and 145,000 of normal human neutrophils are immunoprecipitated by a number of monoclonal antibodies (AHN-1 to AHN-6), which react specifically with granulocytes among peripheral blood cells and selectively inhibit phagocytosis. These proteins, and an Mr 60,000 component, were purified by monoclonal antibody affinity chromatography, molecular sieve chromatography, and preparative polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Each of the three purified proteins was immunoprecipitated by all six antibodies. Nevertheless, tryptic peptide maps of the three proteins indicated that each was a distinct component. AHN-1 to AHN-6 also bound to glycolipid fractions of human neutrophils, and the binding of each antibody to human neutrophils was blocked by the carbohydrate sequences, lacto-N-fucopentaose III. The data indicate that a predominant antigenic determinant of human neutrophils is lacto-N-fucopentaose III, or related carbohydrates, present on three distinct proteins as well as glycolipids. At least one of these molecules appears to be involved in the process of phagocytosis.

Abstract
To identify the mechanisms accounting for hemodialysis-induced granulocytopenia, we undertook quantitative kinetic studies of a granulocyte-adhesion-promoting surface glycoprotein (Mo1). In eight patients undergoing maintenance hemodialysis, there was a fivefold increase in the mean cell-surface expression of Mo1 within 15 minutes after the start of dialysis with a new cuprophane membrane. The peak increase in surface Mo1 coincided with the maximal drop in neutrophil count and with the peak rise in the plasma levels of the complement-activation products C5a desArg and C3a desArg. During dialysis on a membrane being reused for the fifth time, no significant complement activation, no increase in Mo1 expression, and no change in neutrophil count were seen. C5a desArg (but not C3a desArg) induced a comparable increase in Mo1 expression on normal granulocytes in vitro at concentrations similar to those measured in vivo. Chemotactic peptide-induced granulocyte aggregation (a reflection of increased cell-to-cell adhesiveness) was specifically blocked by mouse monoclonal antibodies to Mo1 in vitro. These data suggest that the increased expression of Mo1 on granulocytes in vivo is in part mediated by C5a (and C5a desArg). The quantitative increase in granulocyte-surface Mo1 may provide a mechanism for initiating leukoaggregation, sequestration of granulocytes, and neutropenia during hemodialysis.

Abstract
Leukocyte surface glycoproteins that share a common beta subunit have been found to be congenitally deficient in three unrelated patients with recurring bacterial infection. The glycoproteins, Mac-1, LFA-1, and p150,95, have the subunit compositions alpha M beta, alpha L beta, and alpha X beta, respectively. Using subunit-specific monoclonal antibodies, both the alpha M and beta subunits of Mac-1, the alpha L and beta subunits of LFA-1, and at the least the beta subunit of p150,95, were found to be deficient at the cell surface by the techniques of immunofluorescence flow cytometry, radioimmunoassay, and immunoprecipitation. A latent pool of Mac-1 that can be expressed on granulocyte surfaces in response to secretory stimuli, such as f-Met-Leu-Phe, was also lacking in patients. Deficiency was found on all leukocytes tested, including granulocytes, monocytes, and T and B lymphocytes. Quantitation by immunofluorescence cytometry of subunits on granulocytes from parents of these patients and of a fourth deceased patient showed approximately half-normal surface expression, and, together with data on other siblings and a family with an affected father and children, demonstrate autosomal recessive inheritance. Deficiency appears to be quantitative rather than qualitative, with two patients expressing approximately 0.5% and one patient approximately 5% of normal amounts. The latter patient had alpha beta complexes on the cell surface detectable by immunoprecipitation. Biosynthesis experiments showed the presence of normal amounts of alpha'L intracellular precursor in lymphoid lines of all three patients. Together with surface deficiency of three molecules that share a common beta subunit but have differing alpha subunits, this suggests the primary deficiency is of the beta subunit. The lack of maturation of alpha'L to alpha L and the deficiency of the alpha subunits at the cell surface and in latent pools suggests that association with the beta subunit is required for alpha subunit processing and transport to the cell surface or to latent pools. The molecular basis of this disease is discussed in light of adhesion-related functional abnormalities in patients' leukocytes and the blockade of similar functions in healthy cells by monoclonal antibodies.

Abstract
The rosetting of defined C3-fragment-coated sheep erythrocytes to B-cell-enriched tonsil lymphocytes was measured. The rosetting lymphocytes were homogeneous with respect to expression of C3b, iC3b and C3d receptors. Isolation of receptors for C3 fragments from surface-radioiodinated lymphocytes by affinity chromatography on immobilized C3u, iC3b and C3d,g produced two proteins with partially overlapping specificities. A protein of 240 000 Mr, recognized by the monoclonal antibody To5 and identified as CR1 (complement receptor type 1), had affinity for C3u and iC3b. A protein of 145 000 Mr, recognized by the monoclonal antibody B2, had affinity for all three C3 fragments. Inhibition of rosetting by antibodies to these proteins indicates that CR1 is responsible for C3b-mediated rosetting and that the 145000-Mr receptor (CR2) is responsible for C3d-mediated rosetting. Partial inhibition by both anti-CR1 and anti-CR2 antibodies of iC3b-mediated rosetting indicates that both receptors are involved in iC3b-mediated rosetting. No other protein appears to be involved in tonsil B-cell rosetting to C3-fragment-coated cells. A method for preparing CR2 from tonsil lymphocytes based on affinity chromatography on C3d,g-Sepharose has been developed. Forty tonsil pairs (2 X 10(10) B-cells) yield about 40 micrograms of pure protein equivalent to a purification of 6500-fold from a detergent extract.

Abstract
Mo1 alpha (formerly gp 110) is a neutrophil glycoprotein whose deficiency is associated with abnormalities in several neutrophil functions, including defects in adherence, chemotaxis, and phagocytosis. Examination of whole cells and subcellular components by the use of both immunological and electrophoretic techniques demonstrated that Mo1 alpha was located primarily in the specific granules but that a small portion was present in the plasma membrane, where it is exposed to the extracellular environment and can bind to anti-Mo1 antibody. During degranulation, Mo1 alpha is translocated from the specific granules to the plasma membrane, resulting in a 5-10-fold increase in the surface expression of this glycoprotein. These findings plus previous work suggest that plasma membrane-associated Mo1 alpha is needed for a normal interaction between neutrophils and underlying surfaces, and raise the possibility that the increase in surface adhesiveness of neutrophils that have discharged their specific granules might be due in part to the increase in the amount of Mo1 alpha in the plasma membranes of these degranulated cells.

Abstract
Mo1, a phagocyte surface glycoprotein heterodimer, is involved in a number of phagocyte adhesion functions such as binding and ingestion of serum-opsonized particles, zymosan-induced degranulation, and superoxide generation. Deficiency of this antigen in humans has been associated with increased susceptibility to recurrent bacterial infections. The beta subunit of Mo1 is shared by another surface glycoprotein named LFA-1, which is involved in lymphocyte proliferation, cytolytic T cell, and natural killing activities. Two unrelated patients with Mo1 deficiency were found to be deficient in LFA-1 as well as in the common beta subunit. Investigation of lymphocyte functions in these two patients revealed normal mixed leukocyte culture-generated cytolytic T cell and natural killing activities and significantly reduced proliferative response to phytohemagglutinin. LFA-1-deficient cells also proliferated in response to soluble antigen and different alloantigens. These responses were partially blocked by anti-LFA-1 antibody. Whereas LFA-1 was undetectable by immunofluorescence and immunoprecipitation on the patients' resting T cells, significantly reduced (approximately 5% of normal) but detectable amounts of the heterodimeric LFA-1 antigen were found on mitogen and alloantigen-activated T cells. On granulocytes, Mo1 surface expression was also dependent on the state of cellular activation. The amount of surface Mo1 present on resting normal granulocytes increased by 3-10-fold following exposure to stimuli that induced degranulation, suggesting the presence of a major intracellular pool for this antigen. Analysis of subcellular fractions from granulocytes showed that intracellular Mo1 is located primarily in the specific granule fraction. Activated granulocytes had little or no increase in their surface expression of LFA-1 antigen. Deficient granulocytes had significantly increased numbers of Mo1 antigen expressed on the surface following stimulation with calcium ionophore (1 microM). However, the amount expressed continued to be significantly reduced compared with normal cells. Quantitation of surface Mo1 on granulocytes exposed to calcium ionophore (1 microM) showed that both parents in one family but only the mother in the other family had significantly reduced levels of Mo1, suggesting heterogeneity in the inheritance of this disorder. Whereas LFA-1 deficiency on lymphocytes was associated with normal alloantigen-induced cytolytic T cell and natural killing activities in these two patients, functions which were in part dependent on small amounts of detectable LFA-1 antigen, the Mo1 deficiency state led to significant defects in phagocyte adhesion functions. Hence, the clinical symptoms associated with this combined deficiency state reflect a more profound phagocyte than lymphocyte disorder.

Abstract
The efficacy of IgG infusion therapy in ITP is now established even in cases resistant to other forms of therapy. However, the mechanism of action is still speculative. We assume that a correction of the elevated thrombocyte clearance is brought about at several levels. First, antibodies specific for an inciting antigen (and for which the patient is deficient) may remove free antigen and/or immune complexes which adhere to platelet surfaces, thereby rendering platelets less susceptible to clearance. Second, IgG may act nonspecifically by protecting the platelet surface from becoming covered with immune complexes. Third, monomeric IgG may display a nonspecific inhibitory effect at the level of the interaction of immunologically altered platelets with Fc receptors of mononuclear phagocytes. For the latter effect, good in vivo evidence exists. However, it must be born in mind that interaction of antibodies with Fc receptors is but one mechanisms for triggering adherence and endocytosis. A variety of other receptors and binding sites exists which may interact with immunologically altered thrombocytes. These may either trigger phagocytes on their own or facilitate the interaction of antibodies and Fc receptors. How IgG infusion influences such interactions remains to be determined.
