The binding of the chemotactic complement fragment, C5a, to peripheral blood neutrophils of Localized Juvenile Periodontitis (LJP) patients and normal controls was quantitated using iodinated human C5a and a rapid centrifugation assay. There was a significant reduction in the number of binding sites per cell on neutrophils from the patient group, whereas the binding affinity remained the same as control values.
