Abstract
|
|
|
|
| Sialoadhesin (Sn) is a surface receptor expressed on macrophages in steady state conditions, but during inflammation, Sn can be upregulated both on macrophages and on circulating monocytes. It was shown for different species that Sn becomes internalized after binding with monoclonal antibodies. These features suggest that Sn is a potential target for immunotherapies. In this study, human and mouse macrophages were treated with anti-Sn monoclonal antibodies or F(ab)2 fragments and the effect of their binding to Sn on phagocytosis was analyzed. Binding of antibodies to Sn resulted in delayed and reduced phagocytosis of fluorescent beads. No effect was observed on Fc-mediated phagocytosis or phagocytosis of bacteria by human macrophages. In contrast, an enhanced phagocytosis of bacteria by mouse macrophages was detected. These results showed that stimulation of Sn could have different effects on macrophage phagocytosis, depending both on the type of phagocytosis and cellular background. |
