PG - 81-7 LID - 10.1016/j.aller.2011.02.012 [doi] AB - BACKGROUND: Polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMNs) were originally described as short lived and terminally differentiated phagocytes that contribute only to the innate immune response. Some studies of PMNs cytokine production and expression of numerous cell surface proteins has suggested that PMNs are likely to influence adaptive responses and may satisfy the criteria of antigen presenting cells. AIM OF THE STUDY: This work aimed to study the effect of IL-4 in the function of PMNs as antigen presenting cells. METHODS: Flow cytometry was used in the present study for the detection of cell surface human leukocyte antigen (HLA) class II, CD80 and CD86 required for antigen presentation and subsequent T-cell activation in the presence of Staphylococcus aureus enterotoxin (A). Human peripheral blood neutrophils were used for this purpose. RESULTS: This study has shown that IL-4 stimulated PMNs for 24h expressed HLA class II, CD80 and CD86 that involved in antigen presentation. It also indicated that co-cultivation of IL-4 stimulated PMNs with autologous T-cells and in the presence of S. aureus enterotoxin (A) induced T-cell proliferation. CONCLUSIONS: In vitro stimulation of PMNs with IL-4 showed expression of surface molecules involved in antigen presentation. In addition, the co-culture of T-Cells and stimulated PMNs showed high T-Cells proliferation in the presence of superantigens. CI - Copyright A(c) 2010 SEICAP. Published by Elsevier Espana.
