Figure Lengend Snippet: FIGURE 5. FcgRIV expression on macrophage cells is associated with ADCP and cancer killing mediated by trastuzumab. (A) FcgRIV expression was detected by flow cytometry in WT, FcgRIV KD, and WT plus IFN-g macrophage cells. MFI as shown in respective histograms. (B) Cancer cell killing by WT, FcgRIV KD, and WT plus IFN-g macrophage cells in the presence of trastuzumab. The percentage of cell killing is calculated using the cell index collected by the xCELLigence instrument after 24 h of trastuzumab treatment. (C) ADCP activity of WT, FcgRIV KD, and WT plus IFN-g macrophage cells in the presence of trastuzumab. The percentage of phagocytosis was calculated from the double-positive cells by flow cytometry as described in Fig. 2A. The results are shown as mean 6 SD; n = 3. *p , 0.05. (D) FcgR IVexpression in BMMs with or without IFN-g (50 ng/ml) stimulation for 24 h by flow cytometry. (E) Cancer cell lysis mediated by BMMs or IFN-g–stimulated BMMs in the presence of trastuzumab. (F) ADCP activity of BMMs and IFN-g–stimulated BMMs mediated by trastuzumab as determined by flow cytometry. Percentage of phagocytosis was calculated as described in Fig. 2A. All experiments were repeated three times and error bars in the graphs show the SD. *p , 0.05.
Article Snippet: Measurement of FcgR expression and FcgRs binding assays Macrophages were stained with rabbit anti-mouse FcgRIV (Creative Biomart, Shirley, NY) and followed by Alexa Fluor 488–anti-rabbit IgG (Life Technologies).
