The cell surface expression of the CD32 receptors for the Fc portion of immunoglobulin G (Fc gamma RII) is highly regulated by agents such as phorbol ester (PMA) and cytokines. In this study we investigated the regulatory effects of PMA, aggregated IgG (AIgG) and KuFc79 anti-CD32 monoclonal antibodies (mAb) on the expression of the CD32A isomer mRNA. When U937 (CD32+ cells) are incubated with PMA a significant enhancement of the CD32A isomer mRNA is observed. The CD32A mRNA is also markedly enhanced when the CD32+ K562 cells are incubated with AIgG and anti-CD32 mAb but not with control MOPC-195 mAb. The addition of actinomycin D (ActD), a transcriptional inhibitor together with PMA, AIgG or KuFc79 mAb diminishes the enhanced levels of CD32A mRNA to the basal, constitutively expressed levels, implicating transcriptional regulation in this modulatory process. The PMA induced mRNA is rapidly degraded while the constitutively expressed CD32A mRNA is not, suggesting differential regulation of the stimulated vs the unstimulated CD32A mRNA. Inhibition of protein synthesis does not significantly affect the upregulation of CD32 mRNA by PMA, AIgG or KuFc79 in U937 and K562 cells. The upregulation of CD32A mRNA observed in the cell lines U937 and K562 is also detected when normal blood monocytes are used. Similarly to the cell lines the enhancement of CD32A mRNA in monocytes is blocked by ActD.

Interleukin-4 activated human macrophages [M(IL4)s] promote epithelial wound healing and exert an anticolitic effect in a murine model. Blood monocyte-derived M(IL4)s from healthy donors and individuals with Crohn's disease had increased mRNA expression of the calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) receptor chain, receptor activity modifying protein-1 (RAMP1), raising the issue of neural modulation of the M(IL4)s reparative function. Thus, human M(IL4)s were treated with CGRP and the cells' phagocytotic, epithelial wound repair and anticolitic functions were assessed.

Cattle possess three IgG subclasses. However, the key immune functions, including complement and NK cell activation, and enhancement of phagocytosis, are not fully described for bovine IgG1, 2 and 3. We produced chimeric monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) consisting of a defined variable region linked to the constant regions of bovine IgG1, 2 and 3, and expressed His-tagged soluble recombinant bovine Fc gamma receptors (FcγRs) IA (CD64), IIA (CD32A), III (CD16) and Fcγ2R.

Objective: CD4CD19 conjugates play an important role in regulating antibody responses and follicular helper T cells development in animal models. However, little is known regarding the characteristic of CD4CD19 conjugates in humans with chronic HIV-1 infection.
Methods: The numbers of CD4CD19 conjugates were counted in 86 HIV-1-infected patients, including 66 typical progressors and 20 complete responders.

Article Synopsis
- Low affinity receptors for IgG (FcγRs) are important for linking innate and adaptive immunity, particularly in chronic viral infections and autoimmune diseases due to immune complexes (ICs).
- About 2% of resting CD4+ T cells express FcγRII (CD32), and activation can significantly increase this expression, with a stronger presence of the stimulatory isoform (CD32a) compared to the inhibitory one (CD32b).
- Binding of IgG to CD32 on CD4+ T cells enhances their activation, causing increased proliferation and cytokine release, suggesting that immune complexes could drive chronic inflammation by continuously activating T cells.
Systemic infection modifies the neuroinflammatory response in late stage Alzheimer's disease.

Clinical studies indicate that systemic infections accelerate cognitive decline in Alzheimer's disease. Animal models suggest that this may be due to enhanced pro-inflammatory changes in the brain. We have performed a post-mortem human study to determine whether systemic infection modifies the neuropathology and in particular, neuroinflammation, in the late-stage of the disease.
