Description

Mouse Monoclonal Antibody

Description: This 3G8 monoclonal antibody reacts with human and non-human primate CD16, which is also known as the low-affinity Fc gamma RIII. CD16 exists as two distinct isoforms, Fc gamma RIIIA and Fc gamma RIIIB. In humans, Fc gamma RIIIA is expressed as a polypeptide-anchored form on monocytes, macrophages, and lymphocytes such as NK cells. T and B cells do not express this Fc receptor. Fc gamma RIIIB is also detected on neutrophils as a GPI-anchored form. Expression of CD16 on lymphocytes and monocytes is similar in non-human primates. However, while CD16 is not found on neutrophils in macaques and baboons, this receptor is detected on these cells in sooty mangabeys. Binding of IgG leads to activation of signal transduction pathways, resulting in antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC), phagocytosis, cytokine release, and antigen presentation. This monoclonal antibody has been reported to have several functional activities, including inhibition of cytotoxic ability, activation of cell signaling, and NK cell depletion in vivo. Moreover, the 3G8 antibody clone has been demonstrated to work on capuchin monkey, chimpanzee, common marmoset, cynomologous monkey, hamadyras baboon, olive baboon, pigtailed macaque, rhesus, and squirrel monkey. Based on cross-blocking studies 3G8 recognizes the same epitope as CB16. However, 3G8 and B73.1 antibody clones bind distinct epitopes.

CD16, known as Fc gamma receptor III, exists in two distinct isoforms: Fc gamma RIIIA and Fc gamma RIIIB. These isoforms are encoded by the genes FCGR3A and FCGR3B, respectively, which are located on chromosome 1 and share a high degree of similarity. Fc gamma RIIIA is expressed as a polypeptide-anchored form on monocytes, macrophages, and lymphocytes such as natural killer (NK) cells, but not on T or B cells. This receptor recognizes the Fc portion of immunoglobulin G (IgG) and is involved in the clearance of immune complexes from circulation. Upon binding IgG, Fc gamma RIIIA activates signal transduction pathways that result in antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC), phagocytosis, cytokine release, and antigen presentation. Fc gamma RIIIB is expressed on polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMN) as a glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchored form. It plays a role in similar immune functions, including cellular-mediated cytotoxicity and enhancement of virus infections. Mutations in the FCGR3A gene have been associated with Immunodeficiency 20 and linked to susceptibility to recurrent viral infections, systemic lupus erythematosus, and alloimmune neonatal neutropenia. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been identified for this gene. Diseases associated with FCGR3A include Immunodeficiency 20 and Herpes Zoster.
