- Abstract
- Lysis of 51Cr-labeled TNP-SRBC sensitised by rat IgG1 or IgG2a type antibodies by homologous, paraffin oil-elicited peritoneal macrophages (ADCC) or by homologous complement was studied. IgG2a was found to be markedly more efficient in mediating both ADCC and complement dependent lysis compared to IgG1. Inhibition of the ADCC pointed to the involvement of separate but partially overlapping interaction sites for the two isotypes. We suggest that FcRII type receptors play a favoured role in both IgG2a and IgG1 mediated ADCC. The threshold amount of bound antibody required for ADCC was lower than that sufficient for complement dependent lysis regardless on the subclass or on hapten density, The extent of lysis (both ways) was found to depend on hapten density using equal amounts of antibody. The results are interpreted as terms of the possible requirements for association of IgG molecules on the target cell surface.
