Monocyte subsets in neonates and children.

E B Arenson, M B Epstein, R C Seeger

    Pediatrics
    |November 1, 1979
    PubMed
    Summary

    Neonatal monocytes exhibit impaired chemotaxis due to a functional deficiency in large M3 monocytes, not a quantitative lack. These M3 cells are predominant in newborns and possess superior migration capabilities compared to M1 and M2 subtypes.

    Area of Science:

    • Immunology
    • Neonatal immunology

    Background:

    • Peripheral blood monocytes consist of distinct subpopulations: M1, M2, and M3.
    • Normal neonates display abnormal monocyte chemotaxis, suggesting potential developmental immune system differences.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate if monocyte subpopulations (M1, M2, M3) possess varying chemotactic capabilities.
    • To determine if chemotactically active subpopulations are quantitatively deficient in neonates.

    Main Methods:

    • Chemotaxis assays using zymosan-activated human serum as a chemoattractant.
    • Purification of distinct monocyte subpopulations (M1, M2, M3) for functional analysis.
    • Volumetric analysis of monocytes from healthy adults, children, and normal newborns.

    Main Results:

    • Large M3 monocytes demonstrated significantly greater directed migration compared to smaller M1 and M2 monocytes.
    • Volumetric analysis revealed M3 monocytes as the predominant subpopulation in normal newborns.
    • Newborn monocytes did not show a quantitative deficiency in M3 cells.

    Conclusions:

    • The impaired chemotactic ability in newborn monocytes stems from a functional deficiency, not a quantitative one, specifically within the M3 subpopulation.
    • M3 monocytes are crucial for effective chemotaxis and are present in significant numbers at birth, despite functional deficits.
