The binding of radiolabeled crystal-induced chemotactic factor (CCF) to human neutrophils is characterized. Binding of /sup 125/I-CCF to the cells was higher at 4/sup 0/C than at 24/sup 0/ or 37/sup 0/C and was found to be independent of Ca/sup 2 +/ and Mg/sup 2 +/ ion concentration. The binding showed a pH optimum of 6.0. Tosylamido phenylethyl chloromethyl ketone at 100 ..mu..mol/L concentration inhibited 20% of /sup 125/I-CCF binding, but phenylmethylsulfonyl fluoride at 200 ..mu..mol/L had no effect. Approximately 50% of the cell-associated /sup 125/I-CCF was released after treatment with proteases. The nonspecific uptake by the cells, as measured by the uptake of /sup 3/H-sucrose and /sup 14/C-inulin in the presence of CCF, was negligible. After the steady-state binding of /sup 125/I-CCF to the cells, approx. 15% of the cell-associated radioactivity at 4/sup 0/C and 40% to 50% at 24/sup 0/ and 37/sup 0/C was released into the medium after 60 minutes of incubation in medium alone. Dissociation of the radioactive material was not affected by the presence of tosylamido phenylethyl chloromethyl ketone or phenanthroline in the media. The dissociated material was determined to be degraded /sup 125/I-CCF, suggesting that degradation of /sup 125/I-CCF occurs after binding to its specific receptor on the human neutrophil. 22 references, 3 figures, 2 tables.
