Human IgG1 binds to immobilized recombinant human Fc gamma RIIIB (CD16b) in a dose-dependent manner. The ED50 for this effect is 0.5 – 2.5 µg/mL. -
Stability Testing for Recombinant human Fc gamma RIIIB. Recombinant human Fc gamma RIIIB (CD16b) was aliquoted in PBS, pH 7.0 at 0.2 mg/mL and one aliquot was kept at 4°C (Control), and another was frozen and thawed four times (4x Freeze/Thaw). After this procedure, the samples were tested for their ability to bind to human IgG1 in a dose-dependent manner. The ED50 for this effect is 0.5 – 2.5 µg/mL.

Fc gamma RIII, also known as CD16 is a low affinity IgG Fc receptor with a broad range of different isotypes. In mouse, it is encoded by a single gene, whereas in human, there are two distinct forms (Fc gamma RIIIA/ CD16a and Fc gamma RIIIB/ CD16b), encoded by two nearly identical genes which are expressed in a tissue-specific manner. Fc gamma RIIIA is a 50-65 kD type I transmembrane protein. It is expressed on the surface of NK cells, activated monocytes, macrophages, and placental trophoblasts in humans. Fc gamma RIIIB is a 48 kD GPI-anchored protein. Its extracellular domain is over 95% homologous to that of Fc gamma RIIIA, and it is expressed specifically on neutrophils, eosinophils and a subset of basophils. Several alleles of Fc gamma RIIIB, such as NA1, NA2 and SH, have been identified on PMNs. The alloantigens of the neutrophils are involved in alloimmune neonatal neutropenia. Fc gamma RIIIB binds to aggregated IgG or IgG-antigen complex, but not monomeric IgG. Human Fc gamma RIIIB binds to different human IgG isotypes with distinct affinities; it binds to IgG1 and IgG3, but not IgG2 and IgG4. Glycosylation of Fc gamma RIIIB regulates its affinity to ligand IgG. Ligation of Fc gamma RIIIB results in increased cytosolic calcium, lysozyme release, and the recruitment of neutrophils to immune complexes. It has been reported that Fc gamma RIIIB is cleaved by ADAM17 and released from plasma membrane of the activated neutrophils during apoptosis. Soluble form of Fc gamma RIIIB can inhibit B cell proliferation and immunoglobulin production.

• Learn more about our Recombinant Proteins. - How does the activity of your recombinant proteins compare to competitors?
-
We quality control each and every lot of recombinant protein. Not only do we check its bioactivity, but we also compare it against other commercially available recombinant proteins. We make sure each recombinant protein’s activity is at least as good as or better than the competition’s. In order to provide you with the best possible product, we ensure that our testing process is rigorous and thorough. If you’re curious and eager to make the switch to BioLegend recombinants, contact your sales representative today!
- What is the specific activity or ED50 of my recombinant protein?
-
The specific activity range of the protein is indicated on the product datasheets. Because the exact activity values on a per unit basis can largely fluctuate depending on a number of factors, including the nature of the assay, cell density, age of cells/passage number, culture media used, and end user technique, the specific activity is best defined as a range and we guarantee the specific activity of all our lots will be within the range indicated on the datasheet. Please note this only applies to recombinants labeled for use in bioassays. ELISA standard recombinant proteins are not recommended for bioassay usage as they are not tested for these applications.
- Have your recombinants been tested for stability?
-
Our testing shows that the recombinant proteins are able to withstand room temperature for a week without losing activity. In addition the recombinant proteins were also found to withstand four cycles of freeze and thaw without losing activity.
- Does specific activity of a recombinant protein vary between lots?
-
Specific activity will vary for each lot and for the type of experiment that is done to validate it, but all passed lots will have activity within the established ED50 range for the product and we guarantee that our products will have lot-to-lot consistency. Please conduct an experiment-specific validation to find the optimal ED50 for your system.
- How do you convert activity as an ED50 in ng/ml to a specific activity in Units/mg?
-
Use formula Specific activity (Units/mg) = 10^6/ ED50 (ng/mL)
