Abstract The study of chemoattractant receptors on human monocytes had been limited by the lack of a radioligand suitable for use with the small numbers of cells routinely available from human donors. A new synthetic oligopeptide radioligand f[35S]met-leu-phe, with a higher specific radioactivity than was available with the tritiated compound, was used to characterize a chemoattractant receptor on freshly isolated human blood monocytes. These cells bind f[35S]met-leu-phe with a dissociation constant (KD) of 30.2 +/- 5.6 nM and contain 84,000 +/- 11,300 receptors per cell. f[35S]met-leu-phe does not bind specifically to blood lymphocytes. The specificity of the oligopeptide receptor on monocytes is indistinguishable from the oligopeptide chemoattractant receptor on human polymorphonuclear leukocytes. Using f[35S]met-leu- phe, it will now be feasible to study the chemotactic peptide receptor on small numbers of partially purified peripheral blood monocytes from patients with defects of immune function.

Representing the most potent antigen-presenting cells, dendritic cells (DC) can now be generated from human blood monocytes. We recently presented a novel protocol employing GM-CSF, IL-4, and IFN-γto differentiate monocyte-derived DCin vitro. Here, such cells are characterized in detail. Cells in culture exhibited both dendritic and veiled morphologies, the former being adherent and the latter suspended. Phenotypically, they were CD1a-/dim, CD11a+, CD11b++, CD11c+, CD14dim/-, CD16a-/dim, CD18+, CD32dim/-, CD33+, CD40+, CD45R0+, CD50+, CD54+, CD64-/dim, CD68+, CD71+, CD80dim, CD86+/++, MHC class I++/+++HLA-DR++/+++HLA-DP+, and HLA-DQ+. The DC stimulated a strong allogeneic T-cell response, and further evidence for their autologous antigen-specific stimulation is discussed. Although resembling a mature CD 11c+CD45R0+blood DC subset identified earlier, their differentiation in the presence of the Thl and Th2 cytokines IFN-γand IL-4 indicates that these DC may conform to mature mucosal DC.

An in vitro method for characterising the degradation of glass fibres in an intramacrophage-type environment is reported. Human blood monocytes provide the phagocytically active cultures and a “semi-dynamic cell replenishment method”, whereby cultures are replenished every three weeks with monocytes from the same donor, has enabled exposure times exceeding 26 weeks to be achieved. Tests indicated an affinity of monocytes for glass fibre, and superoxide activity in freshly isolated cells was measured and found to be comparable with that for alveolar macrophages.
