Abstract

Effective tumor immunity requires recognition of tumor cells coupled with the activation of host effector responses. Fc receptor (FcR) gamma-/- mice, which lack the activating Fc gamma R types I and III, did not demonstrate protective tumor immunity in models of passive and active immunization against a relevant tumor differentiation antigen, the brown locus protein gp75. In wild-type mice, passive immunization with mAb against gp75 or active immunization against gp75 prevented the development of lung metastases. This protective response was completely abolished in FcR gamma-deficient mice. Immune responses were intact in gamma-/- mice because IgG titers against gp75 develop normally in gamma-/- mice immunized with gp75. However, uncoupling of the Fc gamma R effector pathway from antibody recognition of tumor antigens resulted in a loss of protection against tumor challenge. These data demonstrate an unexpected and critical role for FcRs in mediating tumor cytotoxicity in vivo and suggest that enhancement of Fc gamma R-mediated antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity by inflammatory cells is a key step in the development of effective tumor immunotherapeutics.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • IgG modulates cellular immune responses through FcγR-binding and direct receptor- or ligand-binding.

    “They modulate cellular immune responses through Fcγ receptor (FcγR)-binding as well as through direct receptor- or ligand-binding [9,10].”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
