TLDR
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.

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

The absence of fucose but not the presence of galactose or bisecting N-acetylglucosamine of human IgG1 complex-type oligosaccharides shows the critical role of enhancing antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity.

TL;DR: The results indicate that the lack of fucosylation of IgG1 has the most critical role in enhancement of ADCC, although several reports have suggested the importance of Gal or bisecting GlcNAc and provide important information to produce the effective therapeutic antibody.

Human natural killer cells

TL;DR: There has been a substantial gain in understanding of what and how NK-cells "see," lending important insights into their functions and purpose in normal immune surveillance.

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.
Journal ArticleDOI

Specificity and affinity of human Fcγ receptors and their polymorphic variants for human IgG subclasses

TL;DR: The results document how hFcgammaR specificity and affinity may account for the biological activities of antibodies and highlight the role of specific hF cgammaRs in the therapeutic and pathogenic effects of antibodies in disease.

Nonparametric Estimation from Incomplete Observations

TL;DR: In this article, the product-limit (PL) estimator was proposed to estimate the proportion of items in the population whose lifetimes would exceed t (in the absence of such losses), without making any assumption about the form of the function P(t).

Report of an International Workshop to Standardize Response Criteria for Non-Hodgkin's Lymphomas

TL;DR: Standardized guidelines for response assessment are needed to ensure comparability among clinical trials in non-Hodgkin's lymphomas (NHL), and two meetings were convened among United States and international lymphoma experts to develop a uniform set of criteria for assessing response in clinical trials.

A revised European-American classification of lymphoid neoplasms: a proposal from the International Lymphoma study group

TL;DR: An international review of lymphomas found that each of us had independently evolved ways of viewing these diseases that were essentially identical, and there was little divergence between European and US participants.

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.
