The release of interleukin-8 (IL-8), IL-6, and tumour necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) from human polymorphonuclear granulocytes (PMN) after exposure to infectious respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) particles was investigated. Our data showed that PMN secreted IL-8 and IL-6 in a time- and RSV-dose-dependent manner. During the RSV exposure, TNF-alpha was not detected in the cell supernatant of PMN. Similar amounts of IL-8 were secreted after either incubation with infectious or UV-inactivated RSV particles. Obviously, PMN bind and phagocytose the viral particles, which leads to the secretion of cytokines. The increased IL-8 secretion was accompanied with an enhanced cytoplasmic IL-8 mRNA steady state level, as shown by Northern blot analysis. The IL-8 secretion pattern from PMN was also studied after its interaction with RSV--antibody complexes. Non-neutralizing monoclonal antibodies (mAb) directed to the RSV fusion protein and glycoprotein were used to generate immune complexes. Only the mAb directed to the RSV fusion protein enhanced the IL-8 release from PMN significantly. In addition, the chemiluminescence response from PMN was analysed after exposure of the cells to RSV particles, RSV-mAb complexes, Ca-ionophore A23187 or N-formyl-methionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine (FMLP). The phagocytosis of RSV inhibited the oxygen radical production induced by the Ca-ionophore A23187 or FMLP. Only RSV-anti-fusion protein mAb complexes generated a chemiluminescence response from PMN. Thus, PMN play an important role in the control of RSV infection.

D012333	RNA, Messenger	RNA sequences that serve as templates for protein synthesis. Bacterial mRNAs are generally primary transcripts in that they do not require post-transcriptional processing. Eukaryotic mRNA is synthesized in the nucleus and must be exported to the cytoplasm for translation. Most eukaryotic mRNAs have a sequence of polyadenylic acid at the 3' end, referred to as the poly(A) tail. The function of this tail is not known for certain, but it may play a role in the export of mature mRNA from the nucleus as well as in helping stabilize some mRNA molecules by retarding their degradation in the cytoplasm.

D014409	Tumor Necrosis Factor-alpha	Serum glycoprotein produced by activated MACROPHAGES and other mammalian MONONUCLEAR LEUKOCYTES. It has necrotizing activity against tumor cell lines and increases ability to reject tumor transplants. Also known as TNF-alpha, it is only 30% homologous to TNF-beta (LYMPHOTOXIN), but they share TNF RECEPTORS.

D016207	Cytokines	Non-antibody proteins secreted by inflammatory leukocytes and some non-leukocytic cells, that act as intercellular mediators. They differ from classical hormones in that they are produced by a number of tissue or cell types rather than by specialized glands. They generally act locally in a paracrine or autocrine rather than endocrine manner.	Cytokine
