Abstract excerpt
Proteinase 3, which is known as an intracellular serine protease of neutrophils, was detected at the surface of a subpopulation of freshly isolated PMN. The proportion of PR3-positive and -negative PMN, observed by flow cytometry with anti-PR3 mAbs or ANCA autoantibodies, varies among individuals but is extremely stable for each individual over prolonged time periods. After PMN degranulation by FMLP with cyt. B,...
