Role of oligosaccharide residues of IgG1-Fc in Fc gamma RIIb binding

Engagement of Fc gamma receptors (Fc gamma Rs) with the Fc region of IgG elicits immune responses by leukocytes. The recent crystal structure of Fc gamma RIII in complex with IgG-Fc has provided details of molecular interactions between these components (Sondermann, P., Huber, R., Oosthuizen, V., and Jacob, U. (2000) Nature 406, 267-273). One of the most intriguing issues is that glycosylation of IgG-Fc is essential for the recognition by Fc gamma Rs although the carbohydrate moieties are on the periphery of the Fc gamma RIII-Fc interface. To better understand the role of Fc glycosylation in Fc gamma R binding we prepared homogeneous glycoforms of IgG-Fc (Cri) and investigated the interactions with a soluble form of Fc gamma RIIb (sFc gamma RIIb). A 1:1 complex stoichiometry was observed in solution at 30 degrees C (K(d), 0.94 microm; Delta G, -8.4 kcal mol(-1); Delta H, -6.5 kcal mol(-1); T Delta S, 1.9 kcal mol(-1); Delta C(p), -160 cal mol(-1) K(-1)). Removal of terminal galactose residues did not alter the thermodynamic parameters significantly. Outer-arm GlcNAc residues contributed significantly to thermal stability of the C(H)2 domains but only slightly to sFc gamma RIIb binding. Truncation of 1,3- and 1,6-arm mannose residues generates a linear trisaccharide core structure and resulted in a significantly decreased affinity, a less exothermic Delta H, and a more negative Delta C(p) for sFc gamma RIIb binding, which may result from a conformational change coupled to complex formation. Deglycosylation of the C(H)2 domains abrogated sFc gamma RIIb binding and resulted in the lowest thermal stability accompanied with noncooperative unfolding. These results suggest that truncation of the oligosaccharides of IgG-Fc causes disorder and a closed disposition of the two C(H)2 domains, impairing sFc gamma RIIb binding.     

Engineering therapeutic antibodies for improved function

The binding sites on human IgG1 for human Fc gamma receptor (Fc gamma R) I, Fc gamma RIIa, Fc gamma RIIb, Fc gamma RIIIa and neonatal FcR have been mapped. A common set of IgG1 residues is involved in binding to all Fc gamma Rs, while Fc gamma RII and Fc gamma RIII utilize distinct sites outside this common set. In addition to residues which abrogated binding to the Fc gamma R, several positions were found which improved binding only to specific Fc gamma Rs or simultaneously improved binding to one type of Fc gamma R and reduced binding to another type. Selected IgG1 variants with improved binding to Fc gamma RIIIa were then tested in an in vitro antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC) assay and showed an enhancement in ADCC when either peripheral blood mononuclear cells or natural killer cells were used.     

The IgG Fc contains distinct Fc receptor (FcR) binding sites: the leukocyte receptors Fc gamma RI and Fc gamma RIIa bind to a region in the Fc distinct from that recognized by neonatal FcR and protein A

The CH2-CH3 interface of the IgG Fc domain contains the binding sites for a number of Fc receptors including Staphylococcal protein A and the neonatal Fc receptor (FcRn). It has recently been proposed that the CH2-CH3 interface also contains the principal binding site for an isoform of the low affinity IgG Fc receptor II (Fc gamma RIIb). The Fc gamma RI and Fc gamma RII binding sites have previously been mapped to the lower hinge and the adjacent surface of the CH2 domain although contributions of the CH2-CH3 interface to binding have been suggested. This study addresses the question whether the CH2-CH3 interface plays a role in the interaction of IgG with Fc gamma RI and Fc gamma RIIa. We demonstrate that recombinant soluble murine Fc gamma RI and human Fc gamma RIIa did not compete with protein A and FcRn for binding to IgG, and that the CH2-CH3 interface therefore appears not to be involved in Fc gamma RI and Fc gamma RIIa binding. The importance of the lower hinge was confirmed by introducing mutations in the proposed binding site (LL234,235AA) which abrogated binding of recombinant soluble Fc gamma RIIa to human IgG1. We conclude that the lower hinge and the adjacent region of the CH2 domain of IgG Fc is critical for the interaction between Fc gamma RIIa and human IgG, whereas contributions of the CH2-CH3 interface appear to be insignificant.     

The Fc receptor for IgG expressed in the villus endothelium of human placenta is Fc gamma RIIb2

To evaluate the potential role of human placental endothelial cells in the transport of IgG from maternal to fetal circulation, we studied Fc gamma receptor (Fc gamma R) expression by immunohistology and immunoblotting. Several pan-Fc gamma RII Abs that label the placental endothelium displayed a distribution pattern that correlated well with transport functions, being intense in the terminal villus and nil in the cord. In contrast, the MHC class 1-like IgG transporter, FcRn, and the classical Fc gamma RIIa were not expressed in transport-related endothelium of the placenta. Our inference, that Fc gamma RIIb was the likely receptor, we confirmed by analyzing purified placental villi, enriched in endothelium, by immunoblotting with a new Ab specific for the cytoplasmic tail of Fc gamma RIIb. These experiments showed that the Fc gamma RII expressed in villus endothelium was the b2 isoform whose cytoplasmic tail is known to include a phosphotyrosyl-based motif that inhibits a variety of immune responses. We suggest that this receptor is perfectly positioned to transport IgG although as well it may scavenge immune complexes.     

Binding of the soluble,truncated form of an Fc receptor (mouse FcγRII) to membrane-bound IgG as measured by total internal reflection fluorescence microscopy

Total internal reflection fluorescence microscopy has been used to investigate the binding of the soluble extracellular domain of mouse FcγRII (sFcγRII) to an anti-trinitrophenyl monoclonal mouse IgG2b (GK14.1) specifically bound to substrate-supported planar membranes composed of dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine (DPPC) and trinitrophenylaminocaproyldipalmitoylphosphatidylethanolamine (TNP-cap-DPPE). The equilibrium dissociation constants for sFcγRII at GK14.1-coated TNP-cap-DPPE/DPPC planar membranes containing 0.5–25 mol% TNP-cap-DPPE were ≊1 μM. Total internal reflection with fluorescence photobleaching recovery was used to examine the dissociation kinetics. The fluorescence recovery curves were better described as a sum of two exponentials rather than by one exponential; the rates and fractional recoveries were ∼1s ⁻¹ (65%) and ≊0.1s⁻¹ (35%). The similarity between the values of these equilibrium and kinetic parameters to those previously measured for the binding of IgG in solution to intact mouse FcγRII reconstituted into planar membranes suggests that conformational changes which may occur when IgG is constrained to a membrane surface do not significantly affect the equilibrium or kinetics of IgG-mouse FcγRII binding. The stoichiometry of sFcγRII-GK14.1 binding was 1:4, indicating that a significant fraction of the membrane-bound antibodies were not accessible for receptor binding. Possible mechanisms that might underlay the observed heterogeneity in sFcγRII-IgG binding kinetics are discussed. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Murine recombinant Fc gamma RIII, but not Fc gamma RII, trigger serotonin release in rat basophilic leukemia cells.

Murine Fc gamma RII and Fc gamma RIII have highly homologous extracellular domains, but unrelated transmembrane and intracytoplasmic (IC) domains. Murine Fc gamma RIIb1 and b2 are two isoforms of single-chain receptors which differ only by 47 aa in their IC domain. Murine Fc gamma RIII are composed of an IgG-binding alpha-chain, the intracellular portion of which is unrelated to that of Fc gamma RII, and of a homodimeric gamma-chain which also associates with Fc epsilon RI. Murine mast cells express Fc gamma RII, Fc gamma RIII, and Fc epsilon RI. They can be induced to degranulate by murine IgG immune complexes or by F(ab')2 fragments of the rat anti-murine Fc gamma RII/III mAb 2.4G2, complexed to mouse anti-rat (MAR) F(ab')2. In order to determine which murine Fc gamma R can activate mast cells, cDNA encoding murine Fc gamma RIIb1, Fc gamma RIIb2 or Fc gamma RIII alpha were stably transfected into RBL-2H3 cells. Murine Fc gamma RIII but not Fc gamma RIIb1 or Fc gamma RIIb2 induced serotonin release when aggregated by (2.4G2-MAR) F(ab')2 complexes. The respective roles of the IC domains of murine Fc gamma RIII subunits in signal transduction were investigated by stably transfecting cDNA encoding IC-deleted or chimeric murine Fc gamma R into RBL-2H3 cells. The substitution of the IC domain of murine Fc gamma RII for that of murine Fc gamma RIII gamma, but not that of murine Fc gamma RIII alpha, conferred the ability to trigger serotonin release. The deletion of IC sequences of the alpha subunit did not alter the ability of murine Fc gamma RIII to trigger serotonin release. It follows that 1) murine Fc gamma RIII, but not Fc gamma RII, can induce RBL cells to release serotonin, 2) the aggregation of the IC domain of the murine Fc gamma RIII gamma subunit is sufficient, but 3) the IC domain of the murine Fc gamma RIII alpha subunit is neither sufficient nor necessary for triggering serotonin release.     

Modulation of Fc gamma receptors on the human macrophage cell line U-937

Macrophage receptors for the Fc portion of IgG play an important role in host defense, inflammation, and the pathophysiology of autoimmune disorders. We studied one important function of Fc gamma receptors--the ability to bind IgG ligand. Direct binding experiments analyzed by nonlinear regression were consistent with monomeric and trimeric IgG binding to a single class of receptors. Indirect binding experiments were also consistent with this interpretation and revealed that both IgG ligands completely inhibited the binding of the other. In addition, we used an anti-Fc gamma RII monoclonal antibody known to compete for the Fc gamma RII ligand binding site and known to inhibit IgG trimer binding to other cells. At concentrations of antibody which saturated all Fc gamma RII sites, no inhibition of IgG trimer binding to U-937 was observed. This was evident despite the observation that the numbers of Fc gamma RI and Fc gamma RII, determined by equilibrium binding of monomeric IgG and anti-Fc gamma RII antibody, respectively, were similar on U-937. Monoclonal antibodies were used to compare the expression and modulation of Fc gamma receptor proteins with their ability to bind monomeric and trimeric IgG ligands. Dexamethasone and gamma-interferon regulated U-937 Fc gamma RI protein expression and IgG ligand binding to a similar degree. In contrast, the expression of Fc gamma RII was not altered by dexamethasone. Interferon-gamma primarily stimulated Fc gamma RI, as determined both by reactivity with monoclonal antibody (227 +/- 26%) and by monomeric IgG ligand binding (350 +/- 151%). In addition, dexamethasone inhibited by 33% the gamma-interferon effect on Fc gamma RI protein and by 56% the effect on Fc gamma RI binding of monomeric IgG. Preincubation of U-937 with anti-Fc gamma RII antibody did not alter the effect of dexamethasone or gamma-interferon on IgG trimer binding. These data indicate that on U-937 cells Fc gamma RII does not function in the recognition of small molecular weight immune complexes and that Fc gamma RI is the Fc gamma receptor responsible for the binding of both monomeric and trimeric human IgG. Furthermore, Fc gamma RI is the major Fc gamma receptor on U-937 that is modulated by both gamma-interferon and glucocorticoids.     

Structural basis for Fc gammaRIIa recognition of human IgG and formation of inflammatory signaling complexes

The interaction of Abs with their specific FcRs is of primary importance in host immune effector systems involved in infection and inflammation, and are the target for immune evasion by pathogens. FcγRIIa is a unique and the most widespread activating FcR in humans that through avid binding of immune complexes potently triggers inflammation. Polymorphisms of FcγRIIa (high responder/low responder [HR/LR]) are linked to susceptibility to infections, autoimmune diseases, and the efficacy of therapeutic Abs. In this article, we define the three-dimensional structure of the complex between the HR (arginine, R134) allele of FcγRIIa (FcγRIIa-HR) and the Fc region of a humanized IgG1 Ab, hu3S193. The structure suggests how the HR/LR polymorphism may influence FcγRIIa interactions with different IgG subclasses and glycoforms. In addition, mutagenesis defined the basis of the epitopes detected by FcR blocking mAbs specific for FcγRIIa (IV.3), FcγRIIb (X63-21), and a pan FcγRII Ab (8.7). The epitopes detected by these Abs are distinct, but all overlap with residues defined by crystallography to contact IgG. Finally, crystal structures of LR (histidine, H134) allele of FcγRIIa and FcγRIIa-HR reveal two distinct receptor dimers that may represent quaternary states on the cell surface. A model is presented whereby a dimer of FcγRIIa-HR binds Ag-Ab complexes in an arrangement that possibly occurs on the cell membrane as part of a larger signaling assembly.     

C-reactive protein binding to murine leukocytes requires Fc gamma receptors

Human C-reactive protein (CRP) is an acute phase protein that binds to receptors on human and mouse leukocytes. We have recently determined that the high and low affinity receptors for CRP on human leukocytes are Fc gamma RIIa and Fc gamma RI, respectively. Previous work by others suggested that CRP receptors on mouse macrophages are distinct from Fc gamma R. We have taken advantage of the availability of mice deficient in one or more Fc gamma R to reexamine the role of Fc gamma R in CRP binding to mouse leukocytes. Three strains of Fc gamma R-deficient mice were examined: gamma-chain-deficient mice that lack Fc gamma RI and Fc gamma RIII, Fc gamma RII-deficient mice, and mice deficient in both gamma-chain and Fc gamma RII that lack all Fc gamma R. No binding of CRP was detected to leukocytes from double-deficient mice, indicating that Fc gamma R are required for CRP binding. CRP binding to leukocytes from gamma-chain-deficient and Fc gamma RII-deficient mice was reduced compared with binding to leukocytes from wild-type mice. Further analysis of CRP binding to macrophages, neutrophils, and lymphocytes provides direct evidence that Fc gamma RIIb1, Fc gamma RIIb2, and Fc gamma RI are the receptors for CRP on mouse leukocytes. These findings may have important implications in understanding the physiological function of CRP.     

Natural and Recombinant Soluble Low-Affinity FcγR: Detection,Purification, and Functional Activities

Studies on the identification, cloning, and biochemical characterization of natural and recombinant human and mouse low-affinity soluble FcγR (sFcγR) have been developed using various methods. RT-PCR and/or biochemical analyses have demonstrated that low-affinity sFcγR (i) are generated by enzymatic cleavage of membrane-associated receptors or by an alternative splicing of the transmembrane region encoding exon and (ii) comprise only the extracellular domains or these domains plus the intracellular region of the membrane-associated molecules, respectively. Functional studies indicated that recombinant sFcγR bind mouse and human IgG subclasses with a binding profile identical to that of their membrane counterparts and inhibit FcγR-mediated functions such as immune complex binding or ADCC. In addition, it has been demonstrated that a mouse recombinant truncated sFcγRII inhibits antibody responses to T-dependent antigens as well as B-cell proliferation and that a human recombinant truncated sFcγRIIIB blocks the Ig production by activated human peripheral blood mononuclear cells. Finally, different immunoassays devised to detect and quantitate circulating sFcγR showed that sFcγR serum levels vary in circumstances such as injections of protein antigens, in parasitic infections, in tumor-bearing mice, in patients with multiple myeloma (MM), or upon infusions of IgG or Fcγ fragments in MM or immune thrombocytopenic purpura patients. The use of recombinant sFcγR, as well as the availability of monoclonal and polyclonal antibodies directed against different regions of these molecules, makes it possible to characterize further the biological effects of sFcγR and their biochemical and immunochemical characteristics, as well as to define their putative ligands on cell membranes.     

The cytoplasmic region of mouse Fc gamma RIIb1, but not Fc gamma RIIb2, binds phospholipid membranes

The cytoplasmic regions of the mouse low-affinity Fc gamma RII isoforms, Fc gamma RIIb1 and Fc gamma RIIb2, play key roles in signal transduction by mediating different cellular functions. The Fc gamma RIIb1 (94 residues) and Fc gamma RIIb2 (47 residues) cytoplasmic regions are generated by differential mRNA splicing in which a single aspartic acid residue in Fc gamma RIIb2 is replaced by a 48-residue insert in Fc gamma RIIb1. In previous work, quantities of the mFc gamma RIIb1 and mFc gamma RIIb2 cytoplasmic regions were generated, and their secondary structures were examined in different solutions with circular dichroism [Chen, L., Thompson, N. L., and Pielak, G. J. (1997) Protein Sci. 6, 1038-1046]. In the work described here, steady-state light scattering was used to investigate possible interactions of the two isolated cytoplasmic regions with phospholipid vesicles. Three phospholipid compositions were examined: phosphatidylserine/phosphatidylcholine (PS/PC) (25/75, mol/mol); phosphatidylinositol bisphosphate/phosphatidylcholine (PIP2/PC) (25/75, mol/mol); and pure phosphatidylcholine (PC). Binding was examined in the presence and absence of Ca2+. The mFc gamma RIIb1 cytoplasmic peptide binds PS/PC vesicles weakly in the absence of Ca2+ and more strongly in the presence of Ca2+. For PIP2/PC vesicles, the behavior is reversed; binding is weak in the presence of Ca2+ and stronger in its absence. The mFc gamma RIIb1 peptide also weakly binds pure PC vesicles, in a Ca2+-independent manner. The mFc gamma RIIb2 cytoplasmic peptide does not bind, in the presence or absence of Ca2+, to PS/PC, PIP2/PC, or PC vesicles. The implications of these results for the mechanisms of signal transduction mediated by the two mFc gamma RII cytoplasmic regions are discussed.     

Subclass specificity of the Fc receptor for human IgG on K562

The erythroleukemic cell line K562 bears a 40-kDa Fc receptor (Fc gamma RII) serologically related to and with a similar molecular weight as the Fc gamma R present on a broad range of leukocytes. The human IgG subclass specificity of the Fc gamma R on K562 was investigated using IgG aggregates of defined size, obtained from purified human myeloma proteins. The monoclonal antibody IV.3, which reacts with the Fc gamma RII present on various cell types, totally prevented binding of 125I-IgG2 trimers to K562. Experiments with radiolabeled IgG2 trimers showed that K562 cells bound a mean of 156,764 +/- 9895 molecules per cell with an association constant (Ka) of 1.8 +/- 0.7 X 10(8) M-1. Similar results were obtained with IgG3 oligomers. IgG3 and IgG2 trimers were about two- to threefold more effective in inhibiting binding of 125I-IgG2 trimers to K562 than IgG1 and IgG4 trimers. These results were confirmed by inhibition experiments using IgG monomers. The subclass specificity of the Fc gamma RII on K562 (i.e., IgG2 = IgG3 greater than IgG1 = IgG4) is quite distinct from the one reported for the Fc gamma RI and III of human cells (i.e., IgG1 = IgG3 greater than IgG4 and IgG2).     

Role of associated gamma-chain in tyrosine kinase activation via murine Fc gamma RIII.

Type III receptors for the Fc portion of IgG (Fc gamma RIII), initially characterized on macrophages and NK cells, are also expressed on several pre-B cell lines. Surface expression of Fc gamma RIII requires the association of the ligand binding alpha-chain with homodimeric gamma-chains. Type II Fc gamma R is homologous to Fc gamma RIII alpha-chain in the extracellular portion and differs in the transmembrane and cytoplasmic domains. The role of Fc gamma R in cell activation was investigated by expressing Fc gamma RIII and the lymphocyte-specific b1 isoform of Fc gamma RII (Fc gamma RIIb1) in an Fc gamma R-negative, sIgG-positive B-cell line. We found that, in contrast to Fc gamma RIIb1, Fc gamma RIII triggers the same events of cell activation as sIG i.e. Ca2+ mobilization, tyrosine phosphorylation and IL-2 secretion. By expressing cytoplasmic domain-lacking Fc gamma RIII alpha-chain in the absence or in the presence of gamma-chains, we demonstrated that cell activation via Fc gamma RIII requires the co-expression of gamma-chains, and is independent of the cytoplasmic portion of the alpha-chain. Furthermore, the cytoplasmic portion of the gamma-chain, fused to the extracellular and transmembrane domains of Fc gamma RII confers on the chimeric receptor the ability to trigger cell activation. Mutation of one tyrosine residue in the cytoplasmic domain of the gamma-chain prevented triggering of cytoplasmic signals. We therefore demonstrate that a tyrosine-containing motif, present in the cytoplasmic domain of the associated gamma-chain, is necessary and sufficient to trigger cell activation via Fc gamma RIII.     

The monoclonal antibody 41H16 detects the Leu 4 responder form of human Fc gamma RII.

Human FcR for IgG can be divided into three classes (Fc gamma RI, II, and III) based on their structure and reactivity with mAb. Fc gamma RII can be further subdivided into two categories based on functional and biochemical assays. These two Fc gamma RII subtypes were initially recognized by the failure of T cells from 40% of individuals to proliferate in response to mAb Leu 4 (mouse IgG1, anti-CD3), a response that requires the binding of the Fc region of the Leu 4 mAb to Fc gamma RII on monocyte accessory cells. Inas-much as mouse IgG1, does not bind efficiently to the nonresponder form of Fc gamma RII, mAb Leu 4 is unable to induce proliferation in these individuals. IEF data on Fc gamma RII from Leu 4 responder and nonresponder individuals suggested that the structural gene for Fc gamma RII consisted of two allelic forms R (responder) and N (nonresponder) producing the phenotypes RR, RN, and NN. Thus, exclusive expression of the nonresponder allele in monocytes of "nonresponder" individuals, appeared to be responsible for the lack of proliferation observed. In cooperation with the IVth International Conference on Human Leukocyte Differentiation Antigens, we analyzed CDw32 mAb to determine if they could distinguish the responder and nonresponder forms of Fc gamma RII. We report that mAb 41H16 binds preferentially to the responder allotypic form of Fc gamma RII expressed on human monocytes. When quantitative flow cytometry is used to measure the binding of both mAb 41H16 (responder Fc gamma RII) and mAb IV.3 (all myeloid cell Fc gamma RII), we are able to subdivide the responder population into homozygous and heterozygous responders. In addition, mAb 41H16 blocks the binding of mAb IV.3 to monocytes and inhibits proliferation when added to cells before addition of mAb Leu 4. We also show that polymorphonuclear leukocytes and platelets have the same allotypic differences in the binding of 41H16 as do monocytes. However, a subset of lymphocytes (previously shown to be B cells) expresses the 41H16 epitope with no evidence for donor to donor variability.     

Differential modulation of stimulatory and inhibitory Fc gamma receptors on human monocytes by Th1 and Th2 cytokines

Immune complex-mediated inflammatory responses are initiated by Fc gamma R on phagocytes. We report in this study that an inhibitory receptor, Fc gamma RIIb2, is expressed on circulating human monocytes, and when co-cross-linked with stimulatory Fc gamma R it down-regulates effector function. Fc gamma RIIb2 expression is increased by IL-4 and decreased by IFN-gamma, in contrast to the activating receptor, Fc gamma RIIa, which is increased by IFN-gamma and decreased by IL-4. Thus, Th1 and Th2 cytokines differentially regulate the opposing Fc gamma R systems, altering the balance of activating and inhibiting Fc gamma R. The detection and cytokine modulation of Fc gamma RIIb2 in human myeloid cells provide evidence of a negative regulator of immune complex-mediated responses in human phagocytes and offer a new approach to limit Ab-triggered inflammation in autoimmune disease.     

The SH2-containing 5'-inositol phosphatase (SHIP) is tyrosine phosphorylated after Fc gamma receptor clustering in monocytes.

Current models of Fc gamma R signal transduction in monocytes describe a molecular cascade that begins upon clustering of Fc gamma R with the phosphorylation of critical tyrosine residues in the cytoplasmic domains of Fc gamma RIIa or the gamma-chain subunit of Fc gamma RI and Fc gamma RIIIa. The cascade engages several other tyrosine-phosphorylated molecules, either enzymes or adapters, to manifest ultimately an array of biological responses, including phagocytosis, cell killing, secretion of a variety of inflammatory mediators, and activation. Continuing to assess systematically the molecules participating in the cascade, we have found that the SH2-containing 5'-inositol phosphatase (SHIP) is phosphorylated on tyrosine early and transiently after Fc gamma R clustering. This molecule in other systems, such as B cells and mast cells, mediates an inhibitory signal. We find that clustering of either Fc gamma RIIa or Fc gamma RI is effective in inducing SHIP phosphorylation, that SHIP binds in vitro to a phosphorylated immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activation motif, peptide from the cytoplasmic domain of Fc gamma RIIa in activation-independent fashion, although SHIP binding increases upon cell activation, and that Fc gamma RIIb and Fc gamma RIIc are not responsible for the observed SHIP phosphorylation. These findings prompt us to propose that SHIP inhibits Fc gamma R-mediated signal transduction by engaging immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activation motif-containing cytoplasmic domains of Fc gamma RIIa and Fc gamma RI-associated gamma-chain.
