Abstract
BACKGROUND Studies of passive anaphylaxis, in which mouse immunoglobulin G (IgG) and its antigens are administered to mice, believe that platelet-activating factor (PAF) is more important than histamine and that basophils or macrophages are primarily involved. However, the full extent of IgG-dependent anaphylaxis is still unclear; that is, little agreement has been reached about the mechanism. METHODS First, we established the novel model of IgG1 anaphylaxis induced by the intravenous administration of two types of IgG1 and a fluorescent dye-labeled antigen, as IgG1 immune complex in HR-1 hairless mice. Subsequently, pharmacological analysis was used to investigate the underlying mechanisms of IgG1 anaphylaxis in this established model. RESULTS The novel IgG1 anaphylaxis model can induce the IgG-induced Anaphylaxis-dependent Spotted Distribution of fluorescently labeled Immune complexes in the Skin, named "G-ASDIS". Moreover, this model was triggered primarily by the FcγRIII-dependent histamine release, which is different from the conventional model in which PAF was involved in the development of IgG1 anaphylaxis. Basophils in the circulation and mast cells in the skin may participate in the development of IgG1 anaphylaxis and increased G-ASDIS. CONCLUSION Our results propose that the novel axis, namely the FcγRIII-basophils and/or mast cell-histamine pathway, is important for IgG1 anaphylaxis. Further analysis of our model in addition to other models will lead to a broader analysis and understanding of the IgG1 anaphylaxis mechanism.

Abstract
Anaphylaxis is a severe systemic hypersensitivity reaction that is rapid in onset; characterized by life-threatening airway, breathing, and/or circulatory problems; and usually associated with skin and mucosal changes. Because it can be triggered in some persons by minute amounts of antigen (eg, certain foods or single insect stings), anaphylaxis can be considered the most aberrant example of an imbalance between the cost and benefit of an immune response. This review will describe current understanding of the immunopathogenesis and pathophysiology of anaphylaxis, focusing on the roles of IgE and IgG antibodies, immune effector cells, and mediators thought to contribute to examples of the disorder. Evidence from studies of anaphylaxis in human subjects will be discussed, as well as insights gained from analyses of animal models, including mice genetically deficient in the antibodies, antibody receptors, effector cells, or mediators implicated in anaphylaxis and mice that have been "humanized" for some of these elements. We also review possible host factors that might influence the occurrence or severity of anaphylaxis. Finally, we will speculate about anaphylaxis from an evolutionary perspective and argue that, in the context of severe envenomation by arthropods or reptiles, anaphylaxis might even provide a survival advantage.

Abstract
Anaphylaxis is a rapidly developing, life-threatening, generalized or systemic allergic reaction that is classically elicited by antigen crosslinking of antigen-specific IgE bound to the high-affinity IgE receptor FcεRI on mast cells and basophils. This initiates signals that induce cellular degranulation with release and secretion of vasoactive mediators, enzymes, and cytokines. However, IgE-independent mechanisms of anaphylaxis have been clearly demonstrated in experimental animals. These include IgG-dependent anaphylaxis, which involves the triggering of mediator release by IgG/antigen complex crosslinking of FcγRs on macrophages, basophils, and neutrophils; anaphylaxis mediated by binding of the complement-derived peptides C3a and C5a to their receptors on mast cells, basophils, and other myeloid cells; and direct activation of mast cells by drugs that interact with receptors on these cells. Here we review the mechanisms involved in these IgE-independent forms of anaphylaxis and the clinical evidence for their human relevance. We conclude that this evidence supports the existence of all 3 IgE-independent mechanisms as important causes of human disease, although practical and ethical considerations preclude their demonstration to the degree of certainty possible with animal models. Furthermore, we cite evidence that different clinical situations can suggest different mechanisms as having a primal role in anaphylaxis and that IgE-dependent and distinct IgE-independent mechanisms can act together to increase anaphylaxis severity. As specific agents become available that can interfere with mechanisms involved in the different types of anaphylaxis, recognition of specific types of anaphylaxis is likely to become important for optimal prophylaxis and therapy.

Abstract
Mast cells are effector cells of the innate immune system, but because they express Fc receptors (FcRs), they can be engaged in adaptive immunity by antibodies. Mast cell FcRs include immunoglobulin E (IgE) and IgG receptors and, among these, activating and inhibitory receptors. The engagement of mast cell IgG receptors by immune complexes may or may not trigger cell activation, depending on the type of mast cell. The coengagement of IgG and IgE receptors results in inhibition of mast cell activation. The Src homology-2 domain-containing inositol 5-phosphatase-1 is a major effector of negative regulation. Biological responses of mast cells depend on the balance between positive and negative signals that are generated in FcR complexes. The contribution of human mast cell IgG receptors in allergies remains to be clarified. Increasing evidence indicates that mast cells play critical roles in IgG-dependent tissue-specific autoimmune diseases. Convincing evidence was obtained in murine models of multiple sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis, bullous pemphigoid, and glomerulonephritis. In these models, the intensity of lesions depended on the relative engagement of activating and inhibitory IgG receptors. In vitro models of mature tissue-specific murine mast cells are needed to investigate the roles of mast cells in these diseases. One such model unraveled unique differentiation/maturation-dependent biological responses of serosal-type mast cells.

Abstract
Bone marrow-derived mast cells (BMMC) have been used extensively as a mast cell model. BMMC, however, are immature cells that have no known physiological equivalent in tissues. They do not respond to IgG immune complexes. They may therefore not be appropriate for studying the physiopathology of IgE-induced allergies or IgG-induced tissue-specific inflammatory diseases which both depend on mature mast cells. Resident peritoneal mast cells are a minor population of differentiated cells that are not readily purified. They, however, can be expanded in culture to generate large numbers of homogeneous cells. We show here that these peritoneal cell-derived mast cells (PCMC) are mature serosal-type mouse mast cells which retain most morphological, phenotypic, and functional features of peritoneal mast cells. Like peritoneal mast cells, PCMC respond to IgG Abs. IgG immune complex-induced responses depended on FcgammaRIIIA and were negatively regulated by FcgammaRIIB. We found that a moderate FcgammaRIIB-dependent negative regulation, due not to a higher FcgammaRIIIA/FcgammaRIIB ratio, but to a relatively inefficient use of the lipid phosphatase SHIP1, determines this property of PCMC. PCMC also respond to IgE Abs. IgE-induced PCMC responses, however, differed quantitatively and qualitatively from BMMC responses. PCMC secreted no or much lower amounts of lipid mediators, chemokines, and cytokines, but they contained and released much higher amounts of preformed granular mediators. PCMC, but not BMMC, also contained and, upon degranulation, released molecules with a potent proteolytic activity. These properties make PCMC a useful new model for understanding the physiopathology of mast cells in IgE- and IgG-dependent tissue inflammation.

Abstract
We studied the effect of rolipram, a phosphodiesterase (PDE) IV inhibitor, on allergic footpad swelling in mice. For this study, varying adjuvants including complete Freund's adjuvant (CFA), incomplete Freund's adjuvant (IFA) and Imject Alum (Alum) were used because the extent of antigen-specifically induced T helper type 1 (Th1) and Th2 responses had been shown to depend on adjuvants used. To induce allergic footpad swelling, we immunized mice with ovalbumin (OVA) emulsified in either CFA or IFA, dissolved in Alum or in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) as a control (day 0), followed by subcutaneous injection of the antigen into footpads on day 21. Rolipram was given orally to the animals daily from days 0-20. Results showed that treatment with rolipram was followed by an increase in early swelling at 0.5 h and a decrease in late swelling at 6 and 24 h in the CFA group. In the IFA group, rolipram significantly enhanced swelling at, but not after, 30 min. In the Alum and the PBS groups, the PDE inhibitor failed to affect the OVA-specific footpad reaction at all times examined. Treatment of the CFA and IFA groups with rolipram significantly inhibited the production of the Th1 antibody anti-OVA immunoglobulin G2a (IgG2a), and the drug enhanced Th2 cell-dependent anti-OVA IgE production. In both groups, rolipram also enhanced the secretion of Th2 cytokines including interleukin-4 (IL-4) and IL-10. These findings suggest that rolipram may facilitate early allergic footpad swelling mediated by Th2 immune responses, while the late phase of swelling associated with Th1 responses may be attenuated by the PDE IV inhibitor.

Abstract
Localization and role of bursin during Bursa of Fabricius (BF) ontogeny were examined by immunohistochemical staining and by in ovo injection with anti-bursin antibody. Mouse monoclonal anti-bursin antibody HU2 was generated by immunization with synthetic bursin. It recognized reticular cells (REC), follicular associated epithelium (FAE), FAE-supporting cells, and the basal layer of interfollicular epithelium (IFE) in the mature BF. Bu-1(+) cells were first detectable in the mesenchyme area at 13 days of embryogenesis (E13) before bud formation, then lined up along the bud, and homed into the bud at around E15. IgM(+) cells were detected in the bud after E13. Bursin was first observed at the under edge of the bud. Injection of HU2 into embryonal vein at E13 suppressed the appearance of IgM(+) cells in the Bursa at E17. These results indicate that bursin exists beneath the bud and may act on the appearance of IgM(+) cells during BF ontogeny.

Abstract
Adjuvants can modulate the levels of anaphylactic- and non-anaphylactic-type IgG1 antibodies produced in response to a particular antigen. Mice immunized with ovalbumin (OVA) in Al(OH)(3) gel (alum) produced mostly the anaphylactic type, irrespective of the s.c. or i.p. route used, and this antibody was not detectable in IL-4(-/-) mice. In contrast, when OVA was injected in complete Freund's adjuvant (CFA), it induced substantial amounts of non-anaphylactic-type IgG1 in both IL-4(+/+) and IL-4(-/-) mice, and some anaphylactic IgG1 antibody in IL-4(+/+) mice only. When IFN-gamma was neutralized by specific mAb in wild-type mice immunized with OVA in CFA, the anaphylactic-type IgG1 antibody increased reaching the same levels as in alum-injected mice. This result indicates that the induction of IFN-gamma by the immunization with CFA down-regulates the production of IL-4-dependent, anaphylactic-type IgG1. Despite their different effects on IgG1 antibody production, both adjuvants dramatically increased the production of IgG2a in IL-4-deprived mice and did not induce any detectable IgE in these mice.

Abstract
Abstract
To investigate the potential application of allergen gene immunization in the modulation of food allergy, C3H/HeSn (C3H) mice received i.m. injections of pAra h2 plasmid DNA encoding one of the major peanut allergens, Ara h2. Three weeks following pDNA immunization, serum Ara h2-specific IgG2a, IgG1, but not IgE, were increased significantly in a dose-dependent manner. IgG1 was 30-fold higher in multiply compared with singly immunized mice. Ara h2 or peanut protein injection of immunized mice induced anaphylactic reactions, which were more severe in multiply immunized mice. Heat-inactivated immune serum induced passive cutaneous anaphylaxis, suggesting that anaphylaxis in C3H mice was mediated by IgG1. IgG1 responses were also induced by intradermal injection of pAra h2, and by i.m. injection of pOMC, the plasmid DNA encoding the major egg allergen protein, ovomucoid. To elucidate whether the pDNA immunization-induced anaphylaxis was a strain-dependent phenomenon, AKR/J and BALB/c mice also received multiple i.m. pAra h2 immunizations. Injection of peanut protein into these strains at weeks 3 or 5 following immunization did not induce reactions. Although IgG2a was increased significantly from week 2 in AKR/J mice and from week 4 in BALB/c mice and remained elevated for at least 6 wk, no IgG1 or IgE was detected. These results indicate that the type of immune responses to pDNA immunization in mice is strain dependent. Consequently, models for studying human allergen gene immunization require careful selection of suitable strains. In addition, this suggests that similar interindividual variation is likely in humans.

Abstract
For the immunopharmacological characterization of murine passive anaphylactic shock, the effects of antihistaminics and/or anti-platelet-activating factor (anti-PAF) agents were studied on the shock mediated by allogeneic monoclonal IgE and IgG1 antibodies and hyperimmune serum. IgE antibody-mediated shock was strongly suppressed by cyproheptadine (10 mg/kg, ip) in every strain regardless of the age and sex of the mice and the presence or absence of a shock potentiator. As far as tested with CTS, DS, and B6D2F1 mice, IgE antibody-mediated shock was also suppressed by the other two antihistamines, triprolidine (10 mg/kg, ip) and oxatomide (100 mg/kg, po). This type of shock was not suppressed by an anti-PAF agent, CV-6209 (3.3 mg/kg, iv), when tested on aged CTS mice given no shock potentiator and young DS mice given a potentiator such as Bordetella pertussis organisms or DL-propranolol. IgG1 antibody-mediated shock was also suppressed by cyproheptadine in general except for CTS mice. Suppression in the DL-propranolol-treated DS and C3H/He mice was not very marked on sensitization with undiluted or slightly diluted IgG1 ascites but quite striking on sensitization with properly diluted ascites. In contrast with the effect of cyproheptadine, suppression by CV-6209 was obvious in aged CTS mice but not in young DL-propranolol-treated DS mice. The shock in DL-propranolol-treated DS mice sensitized with undiluted or slightly diluted ascites was completely abolished by the combined use of these two agents. These results suggest that histamine and/or PAF play a major role in IgE antibody- and IgG1 antibody-mediated shock. However, so far as tested in young DS mice, the shock mediated by hyperimmune serum differed in drug susceptibility from that mediated by the monoclonal antibodies. In the absence of shock potentiators, prevention was produced by cyproheptadine in the males which had been sensitized with the 1:4 or 1:8 dilution of the immune serum. In the presence of DL-propranolol, prevention was not produced even by the combined treatment with cyproheptadine and CV-6209. Therefore, it is likely that some mediators other than histamine and PAF, whose release is triggered by antibody isotypes other than IgE and IgG1, play a greater role for the shock mediated by hyperimmune serum than for the shock mediated by IgE or IgG1 antibody, especially in the presence of shock potentiators.

Abstract
Abstract
Previously, we have demonstrated that phagocytosis of IgG1-coated particles by macrophages in vitro is impaired by deletion of FcγRIII in mice, suggesting that IgG1 may interact preferentially with FcγRIII. In the present study, the biologic relevance of this observation was addressed by triggering various effector functions of the immune system in FcγRIII−/− mice, using panels of mAbs of different IgG subclasses. Both binding and phagocytosis of IgG1-coated sheep or human erythrocytes by FcγRIII−/− macrophages in vitro were strongly impaired, indicating that the impaired ingestion of complexed IgG1 by FcγRIII−/−macrophages is due to a defect in binding. An in vivo consequence of the defective phagocytosis was observed by resistance of FcγRIII-deficient mice to experimental autoimmune hemolytic anemia, as shown by a lack of IgG1-mediated erythrophagocytosis in vivo by liver macrophages. Furthermore, trapping of soluble IgG1-containing immune complexes by follicular dendritic cells in mesenteric lymph nodes from FcγRIII−/− mice was abolished. Whole blood from FcγRIII−/− mice was unable to induce lysis of tumor cells in the presence of IgG1 antitumor Abs. Finally, IgG1 mAbs proved unable to mount a passive cutaneous anaphylaxis in FcγRIII−/− mice. Together, these results demonstrate that IgG1 complexes, either in particulate or in soluble form, trigger in vitro and in vivo immune effector functions in mice predominantly via FcγRIII.

Abstract
Variable protection against malaria blood-stage infection has been demonstrated in mice following parenteral immunization with the highly conserved 19 kD carboxylterminal fragment of the merozoite surface protein-1 (MSP119) using CFA/IFA and other adjuvants. Here we show that intranasal immunization of BALB/C mice with yeast expressed Plasmodium yoelii MSP119 plus a mixture of native and recombinant cholera toxin B subunit, could induce serum MSP119-specific antibodies at titres ranging from 20 000 to 2 560 000. The Ig subclass responses were predominantly G1 and G2b. Intranasal immunization led to protection following challenge (peak parasitaemia < 1%) in mice with the highest MSP119-specific titre (>/= 640 000). In two of the three protected mice, a peak parasitaemia of 0.1%-1% was followed by a boost of the antibody response whereas one of the three protected mice did not boost its antibody response after a peak parasitaemia of 0.02%. In unprotected mice, antibody levels rose, then fell, following the detection of parasites in the peripheral blood. CD4+ T cell-depletion abrogated the ability of the mice to boost their antibody response following challenge. These data demonstrate the potential for intranasal immunization with MSP119 to protect against malaria.

This review describes structures which determine the biological activities triggered by Fc gamma R and account for the cell-mediated functions of IgG antibodies in physiology and pathology. The binding specificity and affinity of Fc gamma R depend primarily on IgG-binding structures, in their immunoglobulin-like extracellular domains. Binding is however also influenced by subunits that associate to multichain Fc gamma R. Effector and regulatory intracytoplasmic sequences that are unique to molecules of the Fc gamma RIIB family determine the internalization properties of these receptors. Immunoreceptor Tyrosine-based Activation Motifs (ITAMs) are intracytoplasmic effector sequences shared by Fc gamma R and other receptors involved in the recognition of antigen, which trigger cell activation and internalization. Immunoreceptor Tyrosine-based Inhibition Motifs (ITIMs) are intracytoplasmic sequences, shared by Fc gamma RIIB and a growing number of negative coreceptors which negatively regulate cell activation via ITAM-bearing receptors. Altogether, these structures enable IgG antibodies to exert a variety of finely tuned biological effects during the immune response.

Abstract
In the past 10 years, our knowledge of the malaria parasite has increased enormously: identification and analysis of parasite antigens, demonstration of protection of monkeys and mice following immunization with these antigens, and better understanding of the mechanisms of immunity to malaria and the pathogenesis of disease in malaria. Powerful new adjuvants have been developed, some of which--it is hoped--will be suitable for human use. Recently, a successful human trial of a vaccine aimed at sporozoites (the stage inoculated by mosquitoes) was completed. However, it is the red blood cell stage of the parasite that causes disease, and it is against this stage--in which the parasite grows at an exponential rate--that it has proven very difficult to induce a protective immune response by vaccination. This review focuses on recent exciting developments toward a blood-stage vaccine. We analyze the major obstacles to vaccine development and outline a strategy involving public- and industry-funded research that should result in development of a vaccine.

Abstract
Although IL-4 induces expulsion of the gastrointestinal nematode parasite, Nippostrongylus brasiliensis, from immunodeficient mice, this parasite is expelled normally by IL-4-deficient mice. This apparent paradox is explained by observations that IL-4 receptor alpha chain (IL-4Ralpha)-deficient mice and Stat6-deficient mice fail to expel N. brasiliensis, and a specific antagonist for IL-13, another activator of Stat6 through IL-4Ralpha, prevents worm expulsion. Thus, N. brasiliensis expulsion requires signaling via IL-4Ralpha and Stat6, and IL-13 may be more important than IL-4 as an inducer of the Stat6 signaling that leads to worm expulsion. Additional observations made in the course of these experiments demonstrate that Stat6 signaling is not required for IL-4 enhancement of IgG1 production and actually inhibits IL-4-induction of mucosal mastocytosis.

Abstract
This review deals with membrane Fc receptors (FcR) of the immunoglobulin superfamily. It is focused on the mechanisms by which FcR trigger and regulate biological responses of cells on which they are expressed. FcR deliver signals when they are aggregated at the cell surface. The aggregation of FcR having immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activation motifs (ITAMs) activates sequentially src family tyrosine kinases and syk family tyrosine kinases that connect transduced signals to common activation pathways shared with other receptors. FcR with ITAMs elicit cell activation, endocytosis, and phagocytosis. The nature of responses depends primarily on the cell type. The aggregation of FcR without ITAM does not trigger cell activation. Most of these FcR internalize their ligands, which can be endocytosed, phagocytosed, or transcytosed. The fate of internalized receptor-ligand complexes depends on defined sequences in the intracytoplasmic domain of the receptors. The coaggregation of different FcR results in positive or negative cooperation. Some FcR without ITAM use FcR with ITAM as signal transduction subunits. The coaggregation of antigen receptors or of FcR having ITAMs with FcR having immunoreceptor tyrosine-based inhibition motifs (ITIMs) negatively regulates cell activation. FcR therefore appear as the subunits of multichain receptors whose constitution is not predetermined and which deliver adaptative messages as a function of the environment.

Abstract
The complement (C)-activating capabilities in human serum of 32 mouse and 10 mouse/human chimeric MoAbs of different isotypes, and their fragments, were tested in vitro. Activation of C via the classical pathway (CP) was performed in 1% factor D-deficient serum in gelatin containing Veronal buffer in the presence of calcium and magnesium (GVB++), while activation of the alternative pathway of C (AP) was assessed in 10% C1q-depleted serum in the presence of 5 mM MgCl2 in GVB++. The C-activating ability of MoAbs was expressed relative to the degree of activation of complement by aggregated IgG for the CP and relative to mouse IgG1 for the AP. All of seven mouse IgG2a MoAbs were potent activators of the CP. The results of CP activation by IgG1, IgG2b and IgG3 isotypes were different for individual MoAbs. Only three (two IgG1 and one IgG3) of 32 mouse MoAbs were potent activators of the AP. IgG2a and IgG2b were relatively poor AP activators. There were a few MoAbs which activated both the AP and CP. Of 10 chimeric MoAbs, two IgG1, one IgG2 and one IgG4 were poor or non-activators of the CP. On the other hand, IgG2 and IgG4 were good AP activators. IgG3 was the most potent AP activator. Most of the F(ab')2 fragments were activators of the AP and displayed no activation of the CP. Fc fragments only activated the CP, whereas Fab' did not activate the CP or the AP. These studies suggest that the route of complement activation by class and subclass MoAbs can not always be predicted in advance and based only on their subclass identity.

Abstract
Alveolar macrophages and mast cells isolated from guinea pig lung were passively sensitized with IgG1, IgG2, or serum obtained from guinea pigs actively sensitized with ovalbumin. The release of histamine by mast cells and of thromboxane A2 by alveolar macrophages upon ovalbumin challenge indicated that both antibodies and serum were capable of sensitizing these cells with similar effectiveness. Heating the serum at 56 degrees C for 4 h to inactivate IgE did not modify the antigen-dependent response of lung cells. These results suggest a predominant role for IgG in the allergic response of the guinea pig through the activation of different cell types such as lung mast cells and alveolar macrophages.

Abstract
This study examined the relationship between complement activation and the deposition of C3b and C4b on a panel of model immune complexes (IC). IC were constructed by combining murine monoclonal IgM, IgA, IgG1, IgG2a or IgG3 anti-dinitrophenyl (DNP) antibodies with DNP-bovine serum albumin (DNP-BSA). The IC were incubated with human plasma as a complement source and the formation of C4a and C3a, as well as the deposition of C4b and C3b on the IC, measured by radioimmunoassay. The results indicate that there were isotype-independent variations in the capacity of different types of IC to activate the classical pathway, especially for isotype-matched pairs of IC containing IgG1, IgG2a and IgG3 antibodies. In most cases, there was a direct relationship between classical pathway activation and the cleavage of C3. There was, for most of the IC, a direct correlation between cleavage of C4 and C3 and the subsequent deposition of C4b and C3b on the IC. However, a pair of IC constructed with independently derived IgG1 antibodies was virtually identical with respect to C3 cleavage and yet differed in the number of C3b molecules deposited on the IC. Collectively, these data suggest that the immunoglobulin variable region can play a significant role in both complement activation and the deposition of C3b and C4b on IC.

Abstract
The recovery of a predetermined amount of interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma) added to normal serum was studied in two independent sandwich ELISA systems specific for rat and human IFN-gamma. In both assays the ELISA activity was rapidly lost in fresh but not in heat-inactivated (30', 56 degrees C) serum. Ninety percent of the initial activity had disappeared within 30 minutes upon incubation at 37 degrees C. Serum-mediated inhibition was not species-specific as the ELISA activity of rat IFN-gamma diminished equally well in rat and human sera. Inhibition was critically dependent on the isotype of the solid-phase monoclonal antibody (mAb) used in the ELISA systems. IgG1 and IgG2a mAbs efficiently inhibited the ELISA activity of IFN-gamma, whereas an IgA mAb was ineffective. The inhibition was not influenced by a wide variety of anti-proteolytic agents but was effectively blocked by anti-complementary substances or treatments directed to the first (C1) and third (C3) component of complement. Our results indicate that activation of the classical pathway of complement (CPC) and the concomitant covalent binding of C3 to the IFN-gamma molecule play a major role in the inhibitory process. It is concluded that reduction of the ELISA activity is attributable to diminished accessibility of the detector antibody for the IFN-gamma protein as a consequence of C3 binding.

Abstract
By using affinity-purified ookinete surface antigen from the rodent malaria parasite Plasmodium berghei, a transmission-blocking immunity was induced in mice. Groups of mice were immunized via different routes, with total quantities of antigen ranging from 0.5 to 40 micrograms (with or without Freund adjuvant). Vaccination by the intramuscular route with 20 micrograms of antigen in the absence of adjuvant and boosted once with the same amount of protein induced a total transmission blockade. Immunoblot analysis confirmed that immune sera invariably recognized Pbs21 antigen. The isotype and titer of the anti-Pbs21 immunoglobulin G (IgG) response was determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The antibody isotype was predominantly IgG1. The concentration of specific anti-Pbs21 IgG reached a peak of 182.45 +/- 92.13 micrograms/ml by week 7 postimmunization and fell progressively to 38 micrograms/ml at week 34 (at which time the transmission was still inhibited by 98%).

Abstract
A family of immunoglobulin isotype-switch variants was isolated by sib selection from a murine hybridoma which produced an immunoglobulin G subclass 1 (IgG1) antibody specific for the capsular polysaccharide of Cryptococcus neoformans. Antibodies of the IgG1, IgG2a, and IgG2b isotypes had similar serotype specificity patterns in double immunodiffusion assays which used polysaccharides of the four cryptococcal serotypes as antigens. A quantitative difference in the ability of the isotypes to form a precipitate with the polysaccharide was observed in a double immunodiffusion assay and confirmed in a quantitative precipitin assay. The relative precipitating activity of the antibodies was IgG2a greater than IgG1 much greater than IgG2b. Analysis by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay of the reactivity of the three isotypes with cryptococcal polysaccharide showed identical titers and slopes, suggesting that the variable region of the class-switch antibodies was unaltered. This system allowed us to examine the effect of the Fc portion of the antibody on opsonization of encapsulated cryptococci. Yeast cells were precoated with antibodies of each isotype and incubated with murine macrophages or cultured human monocytes. Antibodies of all three isotypes exhibited a dose-dependent opsonization for phagocytosis by both human and murine phagocytes. The relative opsonic activity of the antibodies was IgG2a greater than IgG1 greater than IgG2b.

Abstract
Antibodies are known to be important in mediating malarial immunity, but the influence of the various immunoglobulin isotypes on parasite elimination is unclear. The purpose of this study was to provide basic information on the induction of isotype expression in genetically different mice during primary malaria. Parasitaemias and the serum antimalarial IgM, IgG1, IgG2, IgG3 and IgA antibody titres measured in a radioimmunoassay were followed in outbred and 11 inbred strains of mice infected with 17XNL Plasmodium yoelii. Severity of infection, as judged by length of infection, peak parasitaemias and death, was found to differ between the strains. All strains developed rapid IgM responses, but only 3/11 inbred strains produced significant antimalarial IgG1 levels during primary infection. All strains produced an IgG2 response, which developed slightly more quickly in strains with the least severe courses of malaria. A large variation in the IgG3 response was noted between strains. In general, IgG3 antibodies were the first IgG-isotype to appear in serum. They were detected as early as day 8 in strains that developed mild infections but were not present until around day 20 in strains with the most severe cases of malaria. Only one strain produced detectable antimalarial IgA antibodies. These results show that different patterns of isotype expression are induced in inbred strains of mice during primary P. yoelii infection.

Abstract
We have studied the antibody-dependent binding of macrophages to supported planar lipid monolayers containing haptenated phospholipids (Tnp-Cap-DPPE). Eight monoclonal anti-TNP IgG1s, which had similar affinities to the TNP residues in solution and in the membranes, were used in the experiment. The results showed that mouse macrophages (P388D1 and J774.1) bound with different affinities to these IgG1-coated lipid monolayers. The monoclonal antibody shown to be deficient in macrophage binding was also relatively ineffective in activating complement. These results indicated that individual monoclonal antibodies of a given subclass may prove deficient in terms of the biological activities associated with the group as a whole.

Abstract
Fc gamma receptors (Fc gamma R) were isolated from the culture medium of a mouse hybrid cell line (DCH-5) known as an over-expressor of Fc gamma R, established from a mouse adherent spleen cell and the thymoma cell BW 5147. Proteins adsorbed to insolubilized IgG were separated on Sephacryl S-200. The main fraction with maximum FcR activity was isolated and characterized as a glycoprotein with an effective molar mass of about 55 kg/mol. Under non-denaturing conditions, the protein existed as a non-covalently linked dimer. Isoelectric focussing in agarose gel showed two bands with pI = 5.2 and pI = 5.3. The amino acid composition of this fraction was similar to that of pig and human Fc gamma R, and also of rabbit FcR for polymeric Ig. The sugar composition of the fraction (about 34% w/w) resembled that of the C1q component of complement and some membrane glycoproteins.

Abstract
Using the fluorescence activated cell sorter to select rare IgG2a- and IgG2b-producing variants, we developed switch variant families of hybridomas from IgG1-producing hybridomas, ME1 and MA2.1. The IgG2a and IgG2b antibodies produced by such switch variants have the same binding activities for HLA as the IgG1 antibodies produced by the parent hybridomas. Using these antibodies, we directly compared the IgG1, IgG2a, and IgG2b murine Ig isotypes for their capacities to direct human peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBL) in antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC) against a B lymphoblastoid cell line. We demonstrate that, for antibodies of identical binding affinity and specificity, the murine IgG2a isotype is the most effective in directing ADCC by human effector cells. The murine IgG2b directs intermediate levels of ADCC activity while IgG1 is inactive. We identified the effector cells in human PBL that mediate IgG2a or IgG2b ADCC as nonadherent killer (K) cells. These cells express the C3bi receptor and have cytolytic activity which is specifically blocked by a monoclonal antibody (anti-Leu-11a) that binds the Fc receptor (FcR) of such cells. Finally, FcR-bearing K cells bind to target cell-bound, rather than free, IgG2a or IgG2b molecules.

Abstract
Monoclonal IgE anti-TNP antibodies were compared with monoclonal anti-TNP, IgM and IgA isotypes in different biological reactions. The reaginic activity of IgE antibodies demonstrated in passive cutaneous anaphylaxis reactions and degranulation of mast cells was accompanied by a number of activities known to be associated with other isotypes. The occurrence of relatively high numbers of lymphoid cells and macrophages bearing Fc epsilon receptors suggests a possible role of IgE antibodies in host defence mechanisms acting systematically and/or locally on mucosal surfaces.

Abstract
Continued treatment with monoclonal anti-IgD (Ig-5a) from birth in BALB/c mice causes a markedly increased responsiveness to i.v. injected dinitrophenylated ovalbumin (DNP-OVA) with Bordetella pertussis at the age of 8 weeks. The 19S plaque-forming cell (PFC)/spleen response is particularly enhanced, 6-8-fold, but all the other isotypes also show increases of 2-6-fold, including IgA and IgE. Both primary and secondary PFC responses and serum antibody titers are enhanced. After transfer of spleen cells from anti-Ig-treated mice to irradiated recipients the IgM/IgG ratio becomes similar to that of controls. In contrast, the response of anti-IgD-treated mice to i.p. immunization with either 0.2 or 100 micrograms DNP-OVA plus alum is reduced by approximately 80% for each Ig isotype except IgM and remains low upon transfer of spleen cells to recipients. It is concluded that the paucity of B cells in peripheral lymph nodes of the anti-IgD-treated mice causes the low responsiveness to i.p. immunization, but that the IgD- B cells in the spleen are quite able to respond and are, in fact, more responsive than IgD+ B cells. This increased responsiveness, together with the higher IgM/IgG ratios for all Ig isotypes and an otherwise similar order of isotype distribution (gamma 1 greater than gamma 2b greater than gamma 2a = epsilon greater than or equal to alpha) as in controls, suggests that a hyperresponsive, but less mature IgD- B cell population is selectively produced in the spleens of mice treated with anti-IgD from birth.
