Complement and Fc receptors on cord blood and adult neutrophils
Abstract:
The percentage of neutrophils forming erythrocyte-antibody-complement complex (EAC) and with erythrocyte-antibody complex (EAG) was determined for 30 normal newborns and 10 normal adults. The cord values ranged from 84-100% EAC binding cells with a mean of 95%. The adult values ranged from 89-100% EAG binding cells with a mean of 96% rosetted neutrophils. The mean percentage of EAG binding cells in the cord samples was 81%, whereas in the seven adult samples the mean was 87%.
