Characterisation of hexameric-Fc binding. (A) The binding of fluorescently tagged γ1 hexameric-Fc and IVIg to PBMC subsets was analysed by flow cytometry. Shown is 1 representative donor out of 3 independent donors. (B) Flow cytometric analysis of FcγR expression on PBMCs. Cells from the same donor as in (A) were stained with FcγR antibodies to analyse FcγRI, FcγRII and FcγRIII expression on PBMC subsets. (C) Binding of hexameric-Fc to HEK293 cells transfected with indicated FcγR constructs. Data shows the mean of 3 independent experiments + /- SEM. (D) Representative SPR traces showing the binding of γ4-hexameric-Fc and IgG4 to FcγRIIa. Hexameric-Fc was titrated in a two-fold dilution series from 1μM to 7.8 nM. IgG4 was titrated in a two-fold dilution series between 50μM and 0.39 μM.
