Abstract: The problem of the structural relationship between suppressive IgG-binding factor and low-affinity receptors for the Fc portion of IgG (Fc gamma RII) has not yet been solved. In the present work we have isolated a recombinant soluble Fc gamma RII containing only the two external domains of Fc gamma RII, and analyzed its biochemical characteristics and biological activity. A cDNA encoding Fc gamma RII was mutated by the creation of a stop codon at the Lys175 codon. L cells have been transfected with this cDNA inserted into an expression vector. A cell line was obtained that secretes recombinant soluble Fc gamma RII which reacts with a monoclonal anti-Fc gamma RII antibody and binds to IgG1, IgG2a and IgG2b murine isotypes but not to IgG3 or F(ab')2 fragments of IgG2a. The secreted molecule contains two molecular species of relative molecular mass (Mr) 44,000 and 34,000-38,000 and of pI 4.5 and 6.3. They correspond to different glycosylations of a single polypeptide of Mr 19,000. After purification to homogeneity, soluble Fc gamma RII has found to suppress secondary and primary in vitro antibody responses in a dose-dependent way. The present work shows that recombinant soluble Fc gamma RII has biochemical characteristics, immunoreactivity and biological activity similar to those of suppressive IgG-binding factor.

Abstract: Fc receptors play a major role in immune defenses against pathogens and in inflammatory processes. The crystal structure of a human immunoglobulin receptor, FcgammaRIIIb, has been determined to 1.8 A resolution. The overall fold consists of two immunoglobulin-like domains with an acute interdomain hinge angle of approximately 50 degrees. Trp-113, wedged between the N-terminal D1 and the C-terminal D2 domains, appears to further restrict the hinge angle. The putative Fc binding region of the receptor carries a net positive charge complementary to the negative-charged receptor binding regions on Fc. A 1:1 binding stoichiometry between the receptor and Fc was measured by both the equilibrium and nonequilibrium size-exclusion chromatography. Two separate parallel dimers are observed in the crystal lattice, offering intriguing models for receptor aggregation.

Abstract: These guidelines are a consensus work of a considerable number of members of the immunology and flow cytometry community. They provide the theory and key practical aspects of flow cytometry enabling immunologists to avoid the common errors that often undermine immunological data. Notably, there are comprehensive sections of all major immune cell types with helpful Tables detailing phenotypes in murine and human cells. The latest flow cytometry techniques and applications are also described, featuring ex les of the data that can be generated and, importantly, how the data can be analysed. Furthermore, there are sections detailing tips, tricks and pitfalls to avoid, all written and peer‐reviewed by leading experts in the field, making this an essential research companion.

Abstract: This study describes the production of soluble Fc gamma RII by a cell line, D1B1, obtained by transfection of mouse L cells with a murine beta 1 Fc gamma RII cDNA. Upon incubation at 37 degrees C, radioiodinated D1B1 cells release a 39-kDa soluble Fc gamma RII, reacting with the rat anti-mouse Fc gamma RII monoclonal antibody 2.4G2, and binding to mouse IgG2a, IgG2b and IgG1 but not IgG3. In contrast to the transmembrane 50- to 70-kDa receptor, this soluble Fc gamma RII does not react with antibodies directed against a peptide corresponding to the 15 carboxy-terminal intracytoplasmic amino acids of beta Fc gamma RIII. N-Glycosidase F treatment generates a 18-kDa polypeptide. A 32- to 40-kDa soluble Fc gamma RII, which resolves into 18.5- and 20-kDa polypeptides after deglycosylation, was also isolated from the culture medium of unlabeled D1B1 cells. Therefore, this study indicates that soluble Fc gamma RII corresponding to the two extracellular domains of Fc gamma RII are generated by cleavage of membrane Fc gamma RII. Proteolysis occurs most probably at the vicinity of the transmembrane region of the receptor, around amino acids 165 to 180.
