We previously demonstrated that tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) induces rapid human neutrophil apoptosis. In this paper, we examined which of the TNF receptors, p55kDa TNF receptor (55-R) or p75kDa TNF receptor (75-R), or both are involved in this process using specific rabbit antisera. Antibodies to 55-R (anti55-R) or 75-R (anti75-R) alone did not induce neutrophil apoptosis. Further addition of cycloheximide and anti-rabbit immunoglobulin to anti55-R but not to anti75-R accelerated apoptosis, although anti75-R augmented the capacity of anti55-R to do so. These results suggest that 55-R is a prerequisite for TNF-α induced neutrophil apoptosis.
