When exposed to hen ovalbumin (OA)-complexed IgG antibodies, guinea-pig macrophages undergo O2- generation and a rapid rise in the intracellular concentration of free Ca2+ ((Ca2+]i). These responses were found to depend on the IgG isotype of antibodies used; OA-complexed IgG2 antibody (OA gamma 2) induced these responses 3-5 times more intensively than did OA-complexed IgG1 antibody (OA gamma 1). The inhibitory effects of monoclonal antibody to Fc gamma receptor for IgG2 alone (Fc gamma 2R) and that to Fc gamma receptor for both IgG1 and IgG2 (Fc gamma 1/gamma 2R) showed that Fc gamma 2R triggered both an increase in [Ca2+]i and activation of the respiratory burst NADPH oxidase more effectively than did Fc gamma 1/gamma 2R. As the number of Fc gamma 2R molecules per macrophage is about one-half that of Fc gamma 1/gamma 2R molecules, the ability of Fc gamma 2R to trigger these responses may be much higher than that of Fc gamma 1/gamma 2R. This difference between their abilities was further demonstrated by measuring the responses induced by cross-linking of Fc gamma 2R or Fc gamma 1/gamma 2R molecules. In addition, the O2- generation with OA gamma 1 was found to be enhanced with cytochalasin B, and to be lowered by depletion of the intracellular Ca2+ of macrophages with Ionomycin and EGTA, though cytochalasin B and the Ca2+ depletion did not affect the O2- generation with OA gamma 2. These results suggest that the mechanisms of Fc gamma 2- and Fc gamma 1/gamma 2 R-mediated signal transmission leading to activation of the NADPH oxidase also differ from each other.

D007074	Immunoglobulin G	The major immunoglobulin isotype class in normal human serum. There are several isotype subclasses of IgG, for example, IgG1, IgG2A, and IgG2B.

D007132	Immunoglobulin Isotypes	The classes of immunoglobulins found in any species of animal. In man there are nine classes that migrate in five different groups in electrophoresis; they each consist of two light and two heavy protein chains, and each group has distinguishing structural and functional properties.

D008264	Macrophages	The relatively long-lived phagocytic cell of mammalian tissues that are derived from blood MONOCYTES. Main types are PERITONEAL MACROPHAGES; ALVEOLAR MACROPHAGES; HISTIOCYTES; KUPFFER CELLS of the liver; and OSTEOCLASTS. They may further differentiate within chronic inflammatory lesions to EPITHELIOID CELLS or may fuse to form FOREIGN BODY GIANT CELLS or LANGHANS GIANT CELLS.

D009247	NADH, NADPH Oxidoreductases	A group of oxidoreductases that act on NADH or NADPH. In general, enzymes using NADH or NADPH to reduce a substrate are classified according to the reverse reaction, in which NAD+ or NADP+ is formally regarded as an acceptor. This subclass includes only those enzymes in which some other redox carrier is the acceptor. (Enzyme Nomenclature, 1992, p100) EC 1.6.

D010100	Oxygen	An element with atomic symbol O, atomic number 8, and atomic weight [15.99903; 15.99977]. It is the most abundant element on earth and essential for respiration.	Dioxygen,Oxygen-16,Oxygen 16
D010529	Peritoneal Cavity	The space enclosed by the peritoneum. It is divided into two portions, the greater sac and the lesser sac or omental bursa, which lies behind the STOMACH. The two sacs are connected by the foramen of Winslow, or epiploic foramen.	Greater Sac,Lesser Sac,Omental Bursa,Bursa, Omental,Cavity, Peritoneal,Sac, Greater,Sac, Lesser
D011961	Receptors, Fc	Molecules found on the surface of some, but not all, B-lymphocytes, T-lymphocytes, and macrophages, which recognize and combine with the Fc (crystallizable) portion of immunoglobulin molecules.	Fc Receptors,Fc Receptor,Receptor, Fc
D002118	Calcium	A basic element found in nearly all tissues. It is a member of the alkaline earth family of metals with the atomic symbol Ca, atomic number 20, and atomic weight 40. Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the body and combines with phosphorus to form calcium phosphate in the bones and teeth. It is essential for the normal functioning of nerves and muscles and plays a role in blood coagulation (as factor IV) and in many enzymatic processes.
