Internationales Komplement Symposion 14. und 15. Juli 1969 in Mainz

Generation of chemotactic activity by immune complexes carrying clustered or nonclustered C&42horbar; sites

Sensitized cells (EA) bearing different numbers of &42horbar; sites were tested for their ability to generate chemotactic activity from C-EDTA. From the results it can be shown that: 1 the amount of chemotactic activity generated parallels the number of &42horbar; sites bound to the cell surface, 2 all &42horbar; sites clustered around a single hemolytic site are enzymatically active as far as generation of chemotactic activity is concerned, and, 3 no difference can be demonstrated with IgG or IgM antibodies
