The NB1 glycoprotein (CD177, HNA-2a antigen) is exclusively expressed on human neutrophils. As the clinical significance of CD177 expression is unknown, we investigated its expression in healthy individuals before and after stimulation with granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF), in patients with rheumatoid arthritis, viral hepatitis, severe bacterial infections and polycythaemia vera. Expression was quantitatively determined by flow cytometry and by real time polymerase chain reaction. Only G-CSF-stimulated individuals and patients with severe bacterial infections and polycythaemia showed a significantly (P < 0.001) increased CD177 expression compared with healthy individuals, indicating that neutrophil CD177 expression can increase significantly in certain clinical conditions.
