CD16/32-specific biotinylated 2.4G2 single-chain Fv complexed with avidin-FITC enhances FITC-specific humoral immune response in vivo in a CD16-dependent manner.
Fcgamma receptors (FcgammaRs) play an essential role in the regulation of immune response due to their ability to bind immune complexes. Activating FcgammaRs may facilitate antigen presentation and dendritic-cell maturation, while in the late phase of the immune response, the inhibitory FcgammaRIIb may down-regulate B-cell activation upon cross-linking with activating receptors. In this study, we investigated the in vivo role of FcgammaRs on the modulation of humoral immune response. In order to get well-defined immune complexes that can bind to both the activating and the inhibitory FcgammaRs, we designed a mono-biotinylated single-chain fragment variable construct from the rat anti-mouse CD16/32 clone 2.4G2, linked to avidin-FITC, and tested its effect on the FITC-hapten-specific T-independent type 2 (TI-2) and T-dependent (TD) immune response. When injected intravenously in mice, the complex bound to a small portion of B220+, CD11b(high) and CD11c(high) cells and was localized in the spleen on marginal zone macrophages 15 min after treatment. When applied as a booster following primary immunization with TI-2 (FITC-dextran) or TD (FITC-keyhole limpet haemocyanin) antigens, the complex elevated the number of hapten-specific IgM/IgG-producing B cells. This effect was diminished in CD16KO mice, suggesting that the activating-type FcgammaRIII might be a key mediator of this mechanism.Adrienn Angyal, Zsuzsanna Szekeres, Péter Balogh, Zsuzsa Neer, Eszter Szarka, Viktor Virag, David Medgyesi, Jozsef Prechl, Gabriella Sarmay

Intratumor distribution of doxorubicin following i.v. administration of drug encapsulated in egg phosphatidylcholine/cholesterol liposomes.
A pharmacological evaluation of an egg phosphatidylcholine/cholesterol (55:45 mole ratio, EPC/Chol) liposome doxorubicin formulation was carried out. The objective was to define liposomal lipid and drug distribution within sites of tumor growth following intravenous (i.v.) administration to female BDF1 mice bearing either Lewis lung carcinoma, B16/BL6 melanoma, or L1210 ascitic tumors.T O Harasym, P R Cullis, M B Bally
