Regulation of Antibody Responses via Antibodies, Complement, and Fc Receptors

Abstract: Antibodies can completely suppress or enhance the antibody response to their specific antigen by several hundredfold. Immunoglobulin M (IgM) enhances antibody responses via the complement system, and complement activation by IgM probably starts the chain of events leading to antibody responses to suboptimal antigen doses. IgG can enhance primary antibody responses in the absence of the complement system and seems to be dependent on Fc receptors for IgG (FcgammaRs). IgE enhances antibody responses via the low-a… Show more

“…This is because it is well known that the activated capacities of IgG-mediated effector function through interaction with Fc Rs and activation of the complement system are differ with IgG subclass. 21) As shown in Fig. 1B, the -D-glucan AP-FBG was largely reactive to the IgG2 subclass.…”

“…Another ITIM-containing receptor that has been extensively studied in the past is Fcγ receptor IIb (FcγRIIb), which gets co-engaged if the BCR recognizes antigen that is already bound by IgG [13]. The phosphorylated FcγRIIb ITIM recruits the SH2 domain-containing inositol 5-phosphatase (SHIP) which hydrolyzes PIP3 and hence destabilizes the plasma membrane localization of Ca 2+ -mobilizing enzymes [14,15].…”

“…In addition, FcγR expression has been demonstrated on dendritic cells and non-hematopoietic tissues such as endothelial and neuronal cells. Depending on the cell type, cross-linking of these receptors results in a variety of effector functions including antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity, phagocytosis, release of pro-inflammatory mediators, or IgG-mediated feedback inhibition of B cells [18,22]. The family of murine and human FcγRs consists of several members that can be distinguished by two different means.…”
