title: The effect of 3',5'-adenosine monophosphate on granulocyte adhesion.
abstract: Human granulocyte adhesion to glass capillary tubes was tested in the presence of agents that increase intracellular levels of cyclic 3',5'-adenosine monophosphate (cAMP). Adhesion was significantly reduced by 10(-3)-10(-4) M dibutyryl cAMP, 10(-4)-10(-6) M prostaglandin E(1) (PGE(1)), 10(-4)-10(-6) M histamine, or 10(-3) M theophylline. Adhesion was not suppressed by 10(-4) M theophylline unless it was combined with PGE(1) or histamine. Eosinophil and basophil adhesion was especially sensitive to suppression by the above agents. These findings suggest that intracellular cAMP may play a role in regulation of adhesiveness of human basophils, eosinophils, and neutrophils.
