AB Receptors for the Fc domain of immunoglobulin G (Fc gamma R) provide an
interface between specific humoral immunity and the cellular branch of
the immune system through their interaction with antibody. Cross-linking
Fc gamma R on myeloid cells triggers such diverse functions as clearance
of immune complexes, phagocytosis of opsonized pathogens, secretion of
reactive oxygen intermediates, and antibody-dependent cellular
cytotoxicity. The Fc gamma R play a major role in the removal of
antibody-coated infectious agents and are the exclusive trigger
molecules for tumor cell killing by human myeloid cells. Studies of Fc
gamma R function have been aided by the use of Fc gamma R specific
monoclonal antibodies, self-directed target cells, and bispecific
antibodies that link target cells or pathogens to specific host cell
molecules, including Fc gamma R. These reagents have contributed
significantly to our understanding of the role of the different classes
of Fc gamma R in mediating protection from various infectious agents and
in mediating tumor cell killing. Taken together, these approaches have
provided insight into the utility of manipulating Fc gamma R function in
the therapy of cancer and infectious disease.
