Abstract Structural and functional characteristics of Fc receptors for IgG (Fc gamma) on human neutrophils were examined with two monoclonal antibody probes specific for the Fc gamma receptors, Leu 11b and 3G8. To determine the distribution, density, and membrane mobility of the Fc gamma receptor, we used immunogold staining techniques, flow cytometry analysis, and fluorescence microscopy. Both 3G8 and Leu 11b inhibited several cell functions, thereby depicting the regulatory role of the Fc gamma receptor in mediating neutrophil activities. Among the functions studied were release of lysosomal enzymes, release of superoxide anion (O2-), and Fc-dependent rosette formation and phagocytosis. The densities of Fc gamma determinants recognized by Leu 11b and 3G8 on cells from a patient with chronic myelogenous leukemia were less than the density of epitopes on neutrophils from a normal individual. Taken together, the detailed analysis of physical and functional aspects of the Fc gamma receptor on neutrophils described in this study serve as a model for further assessment of the use of Fc gamma phenotyping of cells as a diagnostic tool.

Abstract We have evaluated the therapeutic activity of recombinant erythropoietin (rEpo), in comparison with recombinant interleukin-3 (rIL-3) and granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (rGM-CSF), on a lethal form of acute anemia resulting from Fc gamma receptor- mediated erythrophagocytosis after a single injection (500 micrograms) of a monoclonal anti-mouse red blood cell (MRBC) autoantibody. Continuous perfusion of rEpo before the administration of anti-MRBC monoclonal antibody completely protected animals from death due to anemia with a rapid recovery, while no protection was obtained by rIL-3 perfusion. In contrast, rGM-CSF perfusion markedly accelerated the progression of anemia and the mortality rate. This was found to result from an enhancement of erythrophagocytosis by Kupffer cells and by polymorphonuclear leukocytes that massively infiltrated the livers. Even after the injection of a sublethal dose (100 micrograms) of anti- MRBC monoclonal antibody, rGM-CSF-perfused mice died of a severe form of acute anemia. Furthermore, we have shown that rEpo was able to treat efficiently a spontaneous form of autoimmune hemolytic anemia in a majority of anemic NZB mice, whereas rGM-CSF markedly aggravated anemia. This may be of clinical importance, because GM-CSF administration could exhibit an adverse effect in some autoimmune diseases that involve autoimmune anemia.

Antigenic modulation is one of many factors determining the effectiveness of monoclonal antibody (MoAb)-mediated therapy. To select the isotype of a CD19 MoAb most suitable for radioimmunotherapy of patients with B-cell malignancies, we studied the influence of MoAb isotype on modulation, after binding of the MoAb to different cell-line cells. The CD19-IgG1 MoAb was found to induce modulation of CD19 antigens on Daudi cell line cells more rapidly than did its IgG2a switch variant. We provide evidence that this difference in modulation rate is caused by the expression of Fc gamma receptor II (Fc gamma RII) on these cells. Experiments aimed at elucidating the mechanism of Fc gamma RII involvement in modulation induction by CD19-IgG1 showed that Fc gamma RII did not comodulate with CD19 MoAbs. However, cocrosslinking of CD19 and Fc gamma RII with CD19-IgG1 MoAb resulted in enhanced calcium mobilization in Daudi cells. This increased signal induction accompanies the enhanced capping and subsequent modulation of CD19 antigens. Because Fc gamma RII is expressed in varying densities on malignant B cells in all differentiation stages, our results have implications for the MoAb isotype most suitable for use in MoAb-based therapy of patients with B-cell malignancies.

Rabbit anti-2,4-dintrophenyl (DNP) antibodies or their F(ab')2 fragments were chemically cross-linked to the anti-mouse Fc gamma R monoclonal antibody 2.4G2 or to its Fab fragment. P388D1 cells were incubated with heteroaggregates between 2.4G2 and anti-DNP (anti-Fc gamma R X anti-DNP) and washed. The resulting cells lysed 2,4,6-trinitrophenyl chicken erythrocytes (TNP CRBC) in a hapten-specific manner. The lysis was inhibited by free hapten but was resistant to inhibition by immune complexes. Other cells coated with antibody heteroaggregates also mediated lysis of TNP-modified target cells. For example, mouse resident peritoneal exudate cells (PEC) lysed TNP CRBC and bacillus Calmette-Guérin-activated PEC lysed both TNP CRBC and TNP tumor targets. Human neutrophils, when incubated with heteroaggregates containing the anti-human neutrophil Fc gamma R antibody 3G8 and anti-DNP also lysed TNP CRBC and TNP-modified tumor cells. To test whether linkage to Fc gamma R was required for lysis, F(ab')2 fragments from the anti-KdDd monoclonal antibody 34-1-2 were cross-linked to anti-DNP F(ab')2 fragments. P388D1 cells (which express Kd and Dd) were then incubated with these heteroaggregates and washed, and their abilities to form conjugates and lyse TNP CRBC were compared with those of P388D1 cells treated with anti-Fc gamma R X anti-DNP. In both cases, P388D1 cells formed conjugates. However, only the cells treated with anti-Fc gamma R X anti-DNP mediated lysis to a significant extent. We conclude that heteroaggregates containing anti-Fc gamma R and anti-target cell antibodies can be used to create potent effector cells against red cell and tumor targets and that bridging of effectors with target cells directly to Fc gamma R on effector cells is required for lysis.

We report that phagocytosis by human neutrophils of Con A-treated erythrocytes (E-Con A) and nonopsonized Escherichia coli with mannose-binding adhesions is mediated by the Fc gamma receptor bearing the 3G8 epitope. Modulation of Fc receptors by pretreating with aggregated-IgG or with 3G8 anti-Fc gamma receptor mAb markedly inhibited internalization of E-Con A and E. coli without altering their cell surface attachment. Phagocytosis of these probes was specifically blocked by alpha-methylmannoside and D-mannose and not by other monosaccharides. Thus, recognition of E-Con A and E. coli by the Fc receptor is dependent upon the mannose-specific interaction with lectin or lectin-like adhesions. These data demonstrate that ligands other than the classical IgG opsonins can bind to classical immune receptors for IgG through lectin-carbohydrate interactions.

We studied the effect of three Japanese kampo medicines on platelet activation by an anti-CD9 monoclonal antibody (NNKY1-19) and an anti-human Fc gamma receptor II monoclonal antibody (NNKY3-2). Sho-saiko-to (TJ-9) and Sairei-to (TJ-114) partially suppressed platelet aggregation induced by NNKYl-19, while Juzen-taiho-to (TJ-48) suppressed aggregation induced by NNKY3-2. TJ-9 and TJ-114 also suppressed collagen-induced aggregation, but TJ-48 did not. Flow cytometry showed that the three medicines did not affect antibody binding to the platelets. Thus, all three kampo medicines suppressed platelet activation by anti-platelet glycoprotein antibodies without inhibiting antibody binding.
