Neutrophils (PMN) treated with amphotericin B (AmB), chemotactic peptide (FMLP), phorbol ester (PMA), a low molecular weight (< 10,000 M/sub r/), heat-labile cytokine (CK), or media were incubated with sheep erythrocytes coated with IgG (EIgG) and ingestion assessed as a phagocytic index (PI=number of EIgG ingested/100 PMN). PMN incubated with media bound but did not ingest EIgG (PI=35) as efficiently as PMN stimulated with the following reagents: 4..mu..M AmB (PI=150), 10/sup -9/M FMLP (PI=135), 5ng/ml PMA (PI=310), and CK (PI=350). PMN treated with .25% butanol bound but did not ingest EIgG even after stimulation by the above agents. Monoclonal anti-PMN Fc receptor (3G8) treatment of non-stimulated and stimulated PMN inhibited both attachment and ingestion of EIgG. 1C2, a monoclonal antibody which precipitates a 54,000 M/sub r/ protein from PMN, had no effect on EIgG attachment or ingestion by non-stimulated PMN, yet inhibited EIgG ingestion but not attachment by PMN stimulated with CK (PI=40), AmB (PI=35), and FMLP (PI=60), but not PMA (PI=280). These data indicate that phagocytosis mediated by 3G8-positive Fc receptors may be inhibited by agents which decrease membrane fluidity (e.g. butanol) and may be enhanced by agents which require the molecule recognized by 1C2 (AmB, FMLP, and CK) and an agent which does not (PMA).
