“…The three classes of FcgRs are expressed on NK cells, known to be potent activators of ADCC (Schmitz et al, 2002;Lazar et al, 2006;Conaghan et al, 2008), and on monocytes and granulocytes, which have also been identified as having at least some potential for antibody-dependent killing of target cells, for example, by antibody-dependent cellular phagocytosis (ADCP) (Munn et al, 1991;Huls et al, 1999;Dhodapkar et al, 2005;Lazar et al, 2006;Karagiannis et al, 2007;McEarchern et al, 2007). We describe here a modified phagocytosis assay, based on that developed by Munn et al (1991), and its application to the in vitro testing of the ability of humanised and glycoengineered PR1A3 to kill CRC-derived cell lines.…”
