Methods: The protein-protein cognate interactions such as IgG with Fc Receptors (FcRs) potentiate signaling cascades to ameliorate antigen uptake, processing and presentation are studied by protein-protein docking experiments. Results: However, the propensity of IgG interactions with other cognate receptors largely remains obscure. In this direction, possibilities of IgG1 binding with various five receptors were explored. In this study, we report previously unidentified associations between IgG1 and other receptors. Herein, we show that IgG1 binds to the granulocyte-macrophage receptor, β common receptor and complementaryreceptor(complementary receptor I and complementary receptor II) to form a complex structure. We show the binding ability and important protein-protein interactions of IgG1 with four receptors in comparison to Fc Receptor, and also find out the conserved amino acids and hydrophobic-hydrophobic interactions amongst them. Conclusions: Comparative interaction studies of IgG1 binding to various receptors revealed close similarities of IgG1 binding to its native receptor Fc. In conclusion, our study has shown the comparable binding efficiency of four receptors to IgG1 apart from the conventional Fc receptor.展开更多

Previous studies have reported that invariant natural killer T (iNKT) cells may be responsible for the second signal involved in IgG production. In the present study, we addressed whether human iNKT cells could participate in the production of Ig against TI-2 Ag in vitro. Two major distinct subsets of human iNKT cells, CD4<sup>+</sup> CD8β<sup>-</sup> (CD4) and CD4<sup>-</sup> CD8β<sup>-</sup> [double negative (DN)] cells, were generated from peripheral blood monocytes from a healthy volunteer. BCR engagement, triggered by anti-IgM antibody stimulation, examined here as a model of BCR engagement triggered by TI-2 Ag, induced abundant IgM production by B cells. Both CD4 and DN iNKT cells reduced IgM production and conversely enhanced IgG production in a dose-dependent manner. In addition, IgG production by CD19<sup>+</sup>CD27<sup>-</sup> (naïve) and CD19<sup>+</sup>CD27<sup>+</sup> (memory) B cells was predominantly promoted by DNiNKT cells rather than CD4 iNKT cells;nevertheless, IgM production by both B cell subsets was similarly reduced by either subset of iNKT cells. These results suggest that the DN iNKT subsets may preferentially promote Ig class switching by B cells upon stimulation with TI-2 Ag.展开更多
