The highly purified hog complement peptides, C3a and C5a, and 3 formyl-methionyl peptides induced dose-dependent aggregation of human leukocytes. For the effect, Ca2+ and Mg2+ ions were required; in their absence the peptides induced specific desensitization. Human serum albumin (1 and 2%) reduced aggregation; equivalent or even higher concentrations of plasma or serum were not inhibitory. SH reagents, protease inhibitors (N-tosyl-L-lysyl-chloromethyl ketone, N-tosyl-L-phenylalanyl-chloromethyl ketone) and colchicine inhibited aggregation; cytochalasin B greatly enhanced it. Dose-response studies under comparable conditions showed that aggregation is induced in similar dose ranges as chemotaxis. Complement-derived peptides generated in vivo may contribute to leukocyte accumulation in 2 ways: first, by causing adherence of leukocytes to endothelium (equivalent to aggregation), and then by promoting migration to the inflammatory site.
