Phagocytosis score of primary human neutrophils was determined as described before (46 (link)). Biotinylated antigens were coupled to fluorescent neutravidin beads (Thermo Fisher) and incubated with 50 μl of 1:200 diluted plasma. Primary cells were derived from ammonium-chloride-potassium (ACK) buffer-lysed whole blood from healthy donors and incubated with immune complexes for 1 h at 37°C. Neutrophils were stained for surface CD66b (Biolegend, CA, USA; clone G10F5) expression, fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde and analyzed by flow cytometry on a LSR Fortessa (BD).
