Fluorescence flow cytometry can be used to analyze the binding of different ligands to platelets. However careful choice of volume gates is essential in selecting the population of platelets for analysis. The use of fluorescein isothiocyanate conjugated to staphylococcal protein A or F(ab')2 fragments of immunoglobulin G anti-immunoglobulin offers no advantage in sensitivity or specificity in fluorescence studies of platelets and prefixation of washed platelets with paraformaldehyde has no effect on nonspecific fluorescence. The application of this technology to platelets facilitates quantitation of fluorescence intensity and may yield additional useful information.

Staphylococcal protein A is a bacterial cell wall product that binds human immunoglobulin G and thereby interferes with opsonization and phagocytosis of Staphylococcus aureus by neutrophils. Phagocytic cells are also responsive to various non-immunoglobulin lymphocyte mediators. We utilized the detection of a newly recognized mediator, a neutrophil migration inhibition factor from T-lymphocytes (NIF-T), to show that aggregates of staphylococcal protein A and immunoglobulins G could inhibit the responsiveness of neutrophils to NIF-T. That such aggregates may alter the responsiveness of neutrophils to lymphocyte mediators that amplify or modulate phagocytic functions may have important pathogenetic implications in staphylococcal infection.
