Journal ArticleDOI

Inhibitory Fc receptors modulate in vivo cytotoxicity against tumor targets.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that Fc-receptor-dependent mechanisms contribute substantially to the action of cytotoxic antibodies against tumors and indicate that an optimal antibody against tumors would bind preferentially to activation Fc receptors and minimally to the inhibitory partner FcγRIIB.
Journal ArticleDOI

Fcγ receptors as regulators of immune responses

TL;DR: Recent studies addressing the multifaceted roles of FcRs for IgG (FcγRs) in the immune system are discussed and how this knowledge could be translated into novel therapeutic strategies to treat human autoimmune, infectious or malignant diseases are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Dendritic Cells Induce Peripheral T Cell Unresponsiveness under Steady State Conditions in Vivo

TL;DR: An antigen delivery system targeting these specialized antigen presenting cells in vivo using a monoclonal antibody to a DC-restricted endocytic receptor is devised, which concludes that in the absence of additional stimuli DCs induce transient antigen-specific T cell activation followed by T cell deletion and unresponsiveness.
Journal ArticleDOI

IgG Fc Receptors

TL;DR: Fc gamma Rs offer a paradigm for the biological significance of balancing activation and inhibitory signaling in the expanding family of activation/inhibitory receptor pairs found in the immune system.
Journal ArticleDOI

Anti-Inflammatory Activity of Immunoglobulin G Resulting from Fc Sialylation

TL;DR: It is shown that IgG acquires anti-inflammatory properties upon Fc sialylation, which is reduced upon the induction of an antigen-specific immune response, and may provide a switch from innate anti- inflammatory activity in the steady state to generating adaptive pro-inflammatory effects upon antigenic challenge.
