title: [Effects of CD11/CD18 antibody on adhesive force between polymorphonuclear neutrophil and endothelial cell in response to burn serum in vitro].
abstract: Our previous studies have proved that a great number of polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMN) adhered to endothelial lining and induced endothelial cell (EC) injury. This study was attempted to investigate the change in adhesive force between PMN and EC in response to burn patients' serum within 24 hours and effects of antibody against CD11/CD18 on PMN-EC adhesive force. Burn serum was isolated from 4 burn patients (III degrees 20%-50% TBSA) within 48 hours after burn injury. PMNs were isolated from 8 volunteers. Adhesive force between a PMN and a HUVEC was calculated by means of micropipette technique at 1 h, 3 h, 6 h, 12 h, 24 h after PMN or HUVEC incubated with burn serum or normal serum. Five individual PMN-HUVEC pairs were measured for each sample. All data were analyzed statistically using the t test.
  
  
  RESULTS
  1. The adhesive force between a single PMN-HUVEC pair increased sharply after PMN incubated with burn serum, which reached the maximun level at 1 h after incubation and remained at this level in the following 23 hours. However, the adhesive force was reduced by 78.5%, 72.5%, 75.2% at 1 h, 6 h, 24 h, respectively after the PMNs were pretreated with CD11/CD18 mAb; 2. The adhesive force between a single burn serum stimulated-HUVEC and PMN pair increased gradually, reached peak at 12 h and remained at this level in the following 12 hours.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Burn serum could induce PMN-EC adhesion, with related to PMN aggregation in internal organs and EC damage after burn injury. Antibodies against CD11/CD18 could partially block PMN-EC adhesion and might reduce EC injury induced by activated PMNs.
