IgG-mediated anaphylaxis via Fcγ receptor in CD40-deficient mice

Abstract: Anaphylaxis denotes an immediate hypersensitivity reaction to allergen, exclusively mediated by IgE antibodies. However, IgE antibodies do not explain all the syndromes that are encountered. We investigated potent IgG-mediated anaphylaxis in CD40-deficient mice that lack the immunoglobulin class switching for T cell-dependent antigens. Immunization with ovalbumin did not induce either humoral responses of IgG, IgA, and IgE, or systemic anaphylaxis in CD40-deficient mice. Although systemic anaphylaxis by active… Show more

“…We conclude that Fc + R plays a central role in triggering anti-GBM antibody-mediated glomerulonephritis as a representative type II hypersensitivity disease. We recently demonstrated the inflammatory pathway of IgGmediated immediate hypersensitivity reaction and its triggering mechanism through Fc + R in in vivo conditions [39]. Taking previous findings and the present results into consideration, we suggest that Fc + R may play the key role in triggering IgG-mediated inflammatory reactions even in the in vivo condition.…”

“…Anaphylaxis in mice can be brought about not only by an IgE-Fc∊RI mechanism but also through an IgG-FcγR interaction 3 , 4 , 7 , 29 ; therefore, we hypothesized that the decreased expression of CD200R3 was induced by FcγR-mediated stimulation. This hypothesis was strongly supported by the following findings: (i) CD200R3 on basophils sensitized with IgG-depleted antiserum was not down-regulated following specific antigen challenge ( Fig.…”

“…Nevertheless, IgE-de®cient mice can develop anaphylactic responses (Oettgen et al 1994), possibly mediated by IgG antibody. IgG can bind to Fcc in vivo and trigger degranulation (Wakayama et al 1998). During nematode infection, eosinophils demonstrate morphological signs of degranulation and an increase in the number of Fcc receptors (Winqvist et al 1982;Weller 1991).…”
