Abstract

The in vivo biological activities of IgG antibodies result from their bifunctional nature, in which antigen recognition by the Fab is coupled to the effector and immunomodulatory diversity found in the Fc domain. This diversity, resulting from both amino acid and glycan heterogeneity, is translated into cellular responses through Fcγ receptors (FcγRs), a structurally and functionally diverse family of cell surface receptors found throughout the immune system. Although many of the overall features of this system are maintained throughout mammalian evolution, species diversity has precluded direct analysis of human antibodies in animal species, and, thus, detailed investigations into the unique features of the human IgG antibodies and their FcγRs have been limited. We now report the development of a mouse model in which all murine FcγRs have been deleted and human FcγRs, encoded as transgenes, have been inserted into the mouse genome resulting in recapitulation of the unique profile of human FcγR expression. These human FcγRs are shown to function to mediate the immunomodulatory, inflammatory, and cytotoxic activities of human IgG antibodies and Fc engineered variants and provide a platform for the detailed mechanistic analysis of therapeutic and pathogenic IgG antibodies.

摘要

IgG 抗体的体内生物学活性源于其双功能特性,其中 Fab 对抗原的识别与 Fc 域中发现的效应子和免疫调节多样性相关联。这种多样性源自氨基酸和聚糖的异质性,通过 Fcγ 受体 (FcγR) 转化为细胞反应,FcγR 是一种结构和功能多样化的细胞表面受体家族,存在于整个免疫系统中。尽管该系统的许多整体特征在哺乳动物进化过程中得以保留,但物种多样性使得无法在动物物种中直接分析人类抗体,因此,对人类 IgG 抗体及其 FcγR 的独特特征的详细研究受到限制。我们现在报告了一种小鼠模型的开发,其中所有的鼠 FcγR 都被删除,而人 FcγR 则作为转基因插入到小鼠基因组中,从而重现了人 FcγR 表达的独特模式。这些人 FcγR 被证明能够介导人 IgG 抗体和 Fc 工程化变体的免疫调节、炎症和细胞毒性活性,并为治疗性和致病性 IgG 抗体的详细机制分析提供了一个平台。
