FcγRIIIa-158V/F Polymorphism Influences the Binding of IgG by Natural Killer Cell FcγRIIIa, Independently of the FcγRIIIa-48L/R/H Phenotype

Reads0
Chats0
TLDR
Differences in IgG binding among the three Fc gammaRIIIa-48L/R/H isoforms are a consequence of the linked, biallelic Fc Gamma receptor IIIa-158V/F polymorphism at amino-acid position 158.

Lack of Fucose on Human IgG1 N-Linked Oligosaccharide Improves Binding to Human FcγRIII and Antibody-dependent Cellular Toxicity

TL;DR: Antibody-dependent cellular cytot toxicity assays using purified peripheral blood monocytes or natural killer cells from several donors showed enhanced cytotoxicity, especially evident at lower antibody concentrations.

Therapeutic activity of humanized anti-CD20 monoclonal antibody and polymorphism in IgG Fc receptor FcγRIIIa gene

TL;DR: This study showed an association between the FCGR3A genotype and clinical and molecular responses to rituximab, and will certainly give rise to new pharmacogenetic approaches to the management of patients with non-Hodgkin lymphomas.

High Resolution Mapping of the Binding Site on Human IgG1 for FcγRI, FcγRII, FcγRIII, and FcRn and Design of IgG1 Variants with Improved Binding to the FcγR

TL;DR: Select IgG1 variants with improved binding to FcγRIIIA exhibited up to 100% enhancement in antibody-dependent cell cytotoxicity using human effector cells; these variants included changes at residues not found at the binding interface in the IgG/Fcγ RIIIA co-crystal structure.

Polypeptide variants with altered effector function

TL;DR: In this article, the present invention concerns polypeptides comprising a variant of the Fc region, which have altered effector function as a consequence of one or more amino acid modifications in the region thereof.

Two Immunoglobulin G Fragment C Receptor Polymorphisms Independently Predict Response to Rituximab in Patients With Follicular Lymphoma

TL;DR: Data support the hypothesis that ADCC plays an important role in the clinical effect of rituximab at the level of the effector cell.

Alternative membrane forms of Fc gamma RIII(CD16) on human natural killer cells and neutrophils. Cell type-specific expression of two genes that differ in single nucleotide substitutions.

TL;DR: Two nearly identical, linked genes that encode these transcripts have been cloned for Fc gamma RIII(CD16), one of which (III-1) is allelic for NA- 1 and NA-2, and the allelic sites have been mapped to two single nucleotides in the extracellular domain.

Molecular basis of Fc receptor function.

TL;DR: The structural analysis of the functional basis of FcγR and FCɛR signaling is beginning to shed some light on the way these receptors trigger biological responses, and the molecular dissection of the pathways involved in signaling is also underway.

Human natural killer cells analyzed by B73.1, a monoclonal antibody blocking Fc receptor functions. I. Characterization of the lymphocyte subset reactive with B73.1

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that virtually all lymphocytes with K/NK cytotoxic activity are found in the lymphocyte subpopulation bearing the B73.1(+) lymphocyte subset, which corresponds to the lymphocytes subset containing antibody-dependent killer (K) and natural killer (NK) cells.

On the interaction of IgG subclasses with the low affinity Fc gamma RIIa (CD32) on human monocytes, neutrophils, and platelets. Analysis of a functional polymorphism to human IgG2.

TL;DR: The role of Fc gamma RIIa in binding of stable hIgG-subclass dimers, and in induction of T cell mitogenesis using chimeric anti-CD3 mAb is analyzed and it is demonstrated that the functional polymorphism to hIGG2 is expressed on the majority of F c gamma R-bearing peripheral blood cells: monocytes, neutrophils, and platelets.
