Antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC) mediated by peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) and by isolated populations of lymphocytes and monocytes was compared for susceptibility to inhibition by soluble immune complexes (IC) and by heat-aggregated IgG (HAIgG). It was found that the decrease of ADCC was significantly higher in lymphocytes than in monocytes at all IC and HAIgG concentrations employed (P less than 0.001). The degree of inhibition of PBMC-mediated ADCC was similar to that observed in monocyte ADCC. In previous reports, we demonstrated that IC inhibition of PBMC-mediated ADCC could be reversed by normal human serum (NHS) used as a source of complement (C). In this paper, we study the effects of NHS on isolated populations of monocytes and lymphocytes. It was found that NHS was unable to modify the capacity of IC-blocked monocytes to mediate ADCC. On the contrary, NHS efficiently reversed the inhibition of both ADCC and Fc gamma R expression in IC-blocked lymphocytes. We propose that the regulation of Fc gamma R-IC interactions by C may constitute a physiological way to preserve Fc gamma R expression in lymphocytes.

D008214 Lymphocytes White blood cells formed in the body's lymphoid tissue. The nucleus is round or ovoid with coarse, irregularly clumped chromatin while the cytoplasm is typically pale blue with azurophilic (if any) granules. Most lymphocytes can be classified as either T or B (with subpopulations of each), or NATURAL KILLER CELLS. Lymphoid Cells,Cell, Lymphoid,Cells, Lymphoid,Lymphocyte,Lymphoid Cell
D009000 Monocytes Large, phagocytic mononuclear leukocytes produced in the vertebrate BONE MARROW and released into the BLOOD; contain a large, oval or somewhat indented nucleus surrounded by voluminous cytoplasm and numerous organelles. Monocyte
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

D003165 Complement System Proteins Serum glycoproteins participating in the host defense mechanism of COMPLEMENT ACTIVATION that creates the COMPLEMENT MEMBRANE ATTACK COMPLEX.

D000920 Antibody-Dependent Cell Cytotoxicity The phenomenon of antibody-mediated target cell destruction by non-sensitized effector cells. The identity of the target cell varies, but it must possess surface IMMUNOGLOBULIN G whose Fc portion is intact. The effector cell is a "killer" cell possessing Fc receptors. It may be a lymphocyte lacking conventional B- or T-cell markers, or a monocyte, macrophage, or polynuclear leukocyte, depending on the identity of the target cell. The reaction is complement-independent.
