Human neonatal neutrophils manifest decreases in mobility, adherence, and emigration compared with adult neutrophils that may contribute to the increased susceptibility of neonates to infection. In a developmental rabbit model, we show a reduced ability of neutrophils from 1-day-old rabbit pups to emigrate to inflamed peritoneium (3.7 +/- 0.35 x 10(6) neutrophils/mL peritoneal exudate) compared with 14-day-old (8.5 +/- 0.7 x 10(6)/mL) and adult rabbits (9.4 +/- 1.4 x 10(6) mL, P < .05) despite significantly increased blood neutrophil counts. Because the reductions in functional Mac-1 (CD11b/CD18) as well as the amount of surface L-selectin are hypothesized to be primarily responsible for the differences in human neonatal neutrophil mobility, we examined CD11b/CD18 and L-selectin in our model. Using flow cytometric analysis we found that similar to human neonates, neutrophils from 1-day-old rabbit pups had 57% of adult rabbit levels of L-selectin and, in contrast with adults, failed to show significant decreases in L-selectin after chemotactic stimulation. In addition, neutrophils from 1-day-old pups compared with adults showed a significantly diminished capacity to upregulate CD11b/CD18 after chemotactic stimulation in vitro, or after emigration to the inflamed peritoneum. Systemic administration of anti-L-selectin monoclonal antibody (MoAb) resulted in significant reduction in peritoneal neutrophils in adult (47%, P < .05) and 14-day-old rabbits (47%, P < .05), but was without effect in 1-day-old rabbits. Administration of anti-CD18 MoAb resulted in significant reduction in peritoneal neutrophil accumulation in all age groups though less in 1 day and 14 day (58% and 65%, respectively) than in adults (91%, P < .05). Only in the 14-day-old rabbits was there an additive effect of anti-L-selectin and anti-CD18 MoAbs compared with anti-CD18 alone (84% v 65%, P < .05). The findings in this in vivo rabbit model support the hypothesis that the previously described in vitro defects in human neonatal L-selectin and CD11b/CD18 may be major contributors to human neonatal inflammatory deficits.

D010538 Peritonitis INFLAMMATION of the PERITONEUM lining the ABDOMINAL CAVITY as the result of infectious, autoimmune, or chemical processes. Primary peritonitis is due to infection of the PERITONEAL CAVITY via hematogenous or lymphatic spread and without intra-abdominal source. Secondary peritonitis arises from the ABDOMINAL CAVITY itself through RUPTURE or ABSCESS of intra-abdominal organs.
