Insights from Fc receptor biology: A route to improved antibody reagents
نویسنده
چکیده
Fc receptors and their interaction with antibodies will be a major theme at the forthcoming FASEB Science Research Conference on Immunoreceptors to be held in Snowmass this July (details available at www.faseb.org/src/home.aspx, follow the tabs for Immunoreceptors). Since its inception in the mid 1980s, this meeting series has maintained a focus on Fc receptors, and this year's meeting will be no exception.

Neutrophil activation through high-affinity Fc gamma receptor using a monomeric antibody with unique properties.
The high-affinity, type I Ig Fc receptor (Fc gamma RI) for human IgG1, human IgG3, murine IgG2a, and murine IgG3 is highly expressed on monocytes, neutrophils (PMN) in certain disease states, and phagocytes treated with interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma). We studied the activation of the human PMN oxidative burst and stimulated fluid pinocytosis induced by three monoclonal antibodies (MoAbs) directed...
متن کاملStructural comparison of fucosylated and nonfucosylated Fc fragments of human immunoglobulin G1.
Removal of the fucose residue from the oligosaccharides attached to Asn297 of human immunoglobulin G1 (IgG1) results in a significant enhancement of antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC) via improved IgG1 binding to Fcgamma receptor IIIa. To provide structural insight into the mechanisms of affinity enhancement, we determined the crystal structure of the nonfucosylated Fc fragment and...
متن کاملModulating Cytotoxic Effector Functions by Fc Engineering to Improve Cancer Therapy.
In the last two decades, monoclonal antibodies have revolutionized the therapy of cancer patients. Although antibody therapy has continuously been improved, still a significant number of patients do not benefit from antibody therapy. Therefore, rational optimization of the antibody molecule by Fc engineering represents a major area of translational research to further improve this potent therap...
متن کاملFc Gamma Receptors in the Hepatic Sinusoid
Introduction Receptors that recognize the Fc-portion of antibodies mediate endocytosis of antibody-containing complexes (ICs) [1,2]. The liver is the main organ for uptake of IC from circulation. Phagocytosis of antibody-coated particles takes place in Kupffer cells (KC) whereas endocytosis of soluble IC takes place both in KC and in liver endothelial cells (LEC) [3,4]. ICs have, in comparison ...
متن کاملMaximizing the potency of an anti-TLR4 monoclonal antibody by exploiting proximity to Fcγ receptors
In order to treat Toll like receptor 4 (TLR4)-mediated diseases, we generated a potent antagonistic antibody directed against human TLR4, Hu 15C1. This antibody's potency can be modulated by engaging not only TLR4 but also Fcγ receptors (FcγR), a mechanism that is driven by avidity and not cell signaling. Here, using various formats of the antibody, we further dissect the relative contributions...
