Characterization of the promoter of the human gene encoding the high-affinity IgG receptor: transcriptional induction by gamma-interferon is mediated through common DNA response elements

TL;DR: The studies suggest that the combination of X, H, and gamma-IRE elements is a common motif in the pathway of transcriptional induction by this lymphokine, and indicates that the presence of these elements are a general feature of IFN-gamma-responsive genes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Anti-HA Glycoforms Drive B Cell Affinity Selection and Determine Influenza Vaccine Efficacy

TL;DR: It is shown that sFcs drive BCR affinity selection by binding the Type-II FcR CD23, thus upregulating the inhibitory FcγRIIB on activated B cells, resulting in B cell selection for higher affinity BCR.
Journal ArticleDOI

Structural characterization of anti-inflammatory Immunoglobulin G Fc proteins

TL;DR: Comparison of the structures of asialylated Fc, sialylation Fc and F241A Fc suggests that increased conformational flexibility of the CH2 domain is associated with the switch from pro-inflammatory to anti-inflammatory activity of the Fc.
Journal ArticleDOI

Fcγ Receptor Function and the Design of Vaccination Strategies.

TL;DR: This work presents a framework that synthesizes the current understanding of the contribution of FcγR pathways to the induction and regulation of antibody and T cell responses and discusses vaccination strategies to elicit broad and potent immune responses based on the immunomodulatory properties of F cγR interactions.
