  • Title: Antibody-DEPENDENT, FcγRI-mediated neutralization of HIV-1 in TZM-bl cells occurs independently of phagocytosis.
    Author: Perez LG, Zolla-Pazner S, Montefiori DC.
    Journal: J Virol; 2013 May; 87(9):5287-90. PubMed ID: 23408628.
    Abstract:
    We previously showed that expression of human FcγRI on TZM-bl cells potentiates neutralization by gp41 membrane-proximal external region (MPER)-specific antibodies. Here we show that lysosomotropic reagents known to block phagocytosis do not diminish this effect. We also show that FcγRI occasionally potentiates neutralization by antibodies against the V3 loop of gp120 and cluster I of gp41. We conclude that FcγRI provides a kinetic advantage for neutralizing antibodies against partially cryptic epitopes independent of phagocytosis.
