چکیده

We have demonstrated that one Fc receptor for IgG (FcR) (CD16) on cultured human monocytes appears to be a developmentally regulated membrane protein. This receptor appears to contain less carbohydrate (if any) than does its counterpart on human neutrophils. Expression of CD16 on cultured monocytes increases with respect to both percentage of positive cells and numbers of sites per cell with length of time in culture. This was in contrast to expression of other types of FcRs that either decreased (CDw32) or did not change (FcRp72). Unlike an FcR that binds monomeric IgG (FcRp72), expression of CD16 on monocytes from most normal individuals was not influenced by IFN-gamma. After 14 d in culture, CD16 appeared to be the predominant FcR on cultured monocytes, and was capable of mediating both ligand attachment and phagocytosis. These findings support the hypothesis that CD16 plays an important role in mediating immunophagocytosis.

Soluble CD16 binds peripheral blood mononuclear cells and inhibits pokeweed-mitogen-induced responses.

Human neutrophils express two types of low affinity receptors for IgG, Fc gamma RII or CD32 and Fc gamma RIIIB or CD16. Human serum contains soluble CD16 (sCD16), which is produced by proteolysis of neutrophil Fc gamma RIIIB, the cleavage site being located close to the cell surface. In order to assess the functional roles of sCD16, we have produced, in eukaryotic cells, a recombinant sCD16 con...

Constitutive expression of high affinity interleukin 2 receptors on human CD16-natural killer cells in vivo

The majority of human NK cells express low affinity IgG Fc receptors (CD16+), whereas a minor subset of NK cells lack Fc receptor expression (CD16-). In contrast to CD16+ NK cells that express only p75 IL-2 receptors, CD16- NK cells constitutively co-express both p75 and p55 IL-2 receptors in vivo and preferentially respond to low concentrations of IL-2 with increased cytolytic activation and p...

Influence of glutamine on the phenotype and function of human monocytes.

Reduced concentrations of glutamine (GLN) in plasma and skeletal muscle, defective host defense systems, and a diminished expression of the HLA-DR antigen on monocytes are important diagnostic parameters for late post-injury sepsis. In this in vitro study, we investigated whether blood monocyte-derived macrophage antigen expression and function from healthy donors is influenced by GLN. Lowering...

A monoclonal antibody specific for immunoglobulin A receptor triggers polymorphonuclear neutrophil superoxide release.

An immunoglobulin M (IgM) monoclonal antibody, My43, specific for IgA Fc receptor (Fc alpha R) on human monocytes, bound to human polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMNs) and inhibited their ability to bind IgA but not IgG. It was observed that the PMN oxidative burst was induced by both polymeric IgA and aggregated IgG, whereas IgM was without effect. The IgG-mediated oxidative burst was inhibited...
