Priming of blood neutrophils in children with cystic fibrosis: correlation between functional and phenotypic expression of opsonin receptors before and after platelet-activating factor priming.

Abstract excerpt

Blood phagocyte opsonin receptor CR1 (CD35) and CR3 (CD11b) functions were examined in cystic fibrosis (CF) patients with endobronchial Staphylococcus aureus or Pseudomonas aeruginosa chronic infection, CF patients without infection, heterozygous, non-CF patients with chronic pulmonary infection, and healthy controls. Circulating and platelet-activating factor (PAF)-primed phagocyte luminol luminescence responses...
