“…3). The induction of interleukin-6 production by aggregated (but not monomeric) IgG and Fc fragments may be an additional factor maintaining the baseline level of NK activity in the presence of aggregated IgG and Fc fragments [14].…”

“…Idiotype-antiidiotype interaction and receptor blockade are other possible mechanisms by which IVIG preparations exert their immune modulatory effects in autoimmune disease such as acute idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura, Kawasaki disease and graft versus host disease [43, 44, 45, 46]. Immune complexes have also been shown to induce the secretion of cytokines such as TNF-α [30, 35], and IL-6 [31] from human monocytes via Fc-receptor interaction. Elevated levels of IL-6 and IL-8 have been reported within 1 h after IVIG infusion [35].…”

“…A marked increase in IL-6 production was noted in the presence of LPS/IgG complexes and complement, while TNF-α production was suppressed. There are numerous in vitro experimental reports which suggest that immunoglobulin preparations and immune complexes affect the levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines and other mediators of immune response [26, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34]. Aukrust et al [35] have reported increased plasma levels of IL-6, IL-8, TNF-α and soluble TNF receptors (sTNFR) in 12 patients with primary immunodeficiency (PID) who were infused with an IVIG preparation.…”

“…While in most of the previous reports FcγR-triggered cytokine release was induced either by solid-phase bound IgG (Herrmann et al, 1992), complexed IgG (Ling et al, 1990) or IgG-sensitized erythrocytes (Davenport et al, 1994), there is little known about the FcγR-mediated cytokine release induced by anti-tumour antibodies bound to their tumour cell-associated antigens (Wing et al, 1996). This may be of importance in the preclinical evaluation of anti-tumour mAbs.…”

“…Apart from their function as trigger molecules in antibody-mediated cellular cytolysis (Van de Winkel et al, 1989), both classes of FcγR have been implicated in Fc-dependent stimulation of cytokine release (Debets et al, 1990). Signalling through FcγRs activates human leucocytes to secret various pro-inflammatory cytokines like GM-CSF (Herrmann et al, 1992), interleukin (IL)-6 (Ling et al, 1990) or IL-8 (Marsh et al, 1995).…”
