Effect of antibody to HNP on polystyrene-associated inhibition of staphylocidal activity. Compared to control cells, in which staphylococci were added without a prior 1-h incubation of PMN on polystyrene (■), staphylocidal activity was impaired when fresh neutrophils were added to the polystyrene-exposed neutrophils ( Created by potrace 1.16, written by Peter Selinger 2001-2019 ), but this is overcome by addition of monoclonal antibody specific for HNP (░⃞) but not by irrelevant antibody to VCAM (▨) prior to the addition of fresh neutrophils. This effect was highly significant at both 2 and 24 h after the inoculation of neutrophils with staphylococci (P = 0.00008).
