[Regulation of Fc receptor expression by immune complexes on neutrophils and U937 cells]
1Department of Immunology, Institute of Basic Medical Sciences, CAMS and PUMC, Beijing 100005, China.
Objective:
To study the regulation of Fc receptor expression by immune complexes (ICs) on neutrophils and U937 cells.
Methods:
IgA ICs, IgG1 ICs, IgG2 ICs, IgG3 ICs, IgG4 ICs, and IgM ICs were incubated with neutrophils or U937 cells for 1 h. Then their surface Fc receptors were stained by anti-Fc gammaR I, anti-Fc gammaR II , anti-Fc gammaR III, and anti-Fc alphaR I monoclonal antibodies and analyzed by fluorescent activated cell sorting (FACS).
Results:
IgG1 ICs and IgG3 ICs up-regulated Fc gammaR II and Fc gammaR III on U937 cells, Fc gammaR I and Fc alphaR I on neutrophils. Almost all ICs down-regulated Fc gammaR II on neutrophils.
Conclusions:
ICs can regulate Fc receptor expression on neutrophils and U937 cells, among which IgG1 ICs and IgG3 ICs are most effective.
