title: [Use of standard for quantitation of adhesion of polynuclear neutrophils by flow cytometry].
abstract: Adherence receptors are essential for heterotypic (endothelial cell, platelet) polymorphonuclear neutrophil (PMN) interaction. Determination of their expression level give information about activation state and functionality of PMN. Use of flow cytometry associated with an immunolabeling standard, represented by beads coated by a determined amount of immunoglobulins (Qifikit, Dako), allows analysis of specific antibody binding capacity and gives information about antigen density. Using this methodology, the exploration of surface adherence receptors, L-selectin (CD62L) and b2-integrins (CD11a-c/CD18) from PMN unstimulated and incubated with pro-inflammatory stimuli, formyl-methionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine (fMLP) and tumor necrosis factor a (TNFa), allows, on the one hand, the establishment of basal expression values on resting PNN and on the other hand, the study of PNN reactivity. This method of quantification can be applied to clinical studies as adherence receptor deficiency syndromes or inflammatory, infectious and vascular diseases.
