Free eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) was found to inhibit dose dependently the chemiluminescence of human neutrophil granulocytes phagocytosing zymosan and their chemotaxis induced by C5a-containing zymosan-activated serum (ZAS) and platelet-activating factor. Rigidification of plasma membranes in the ZAS-treated cells could be
