title: The binding of human and guinea-pig IgG subclasses to homologous macrophage and monocyte Fc receptors.
abstract: Guinea-pig IgG2 and IgT1 bind to contiguous Fc receptors on homologous peritoneal macrophages. Equilibrium association constants determined for the binding of human IgG subclasses to homologous peripheral blood monocytes show that the order of binding is IgG1 greater than IgG3 greater than IgG4 greater than IgG2. Direct binding and rosette assay techniques independently established that both guinea-pig IgG2 and human IgG bind to homologous macrophage-monocyte Fc receptors through a site present in whole Fc (CH2. CH3)2, but absent in pFc' subfragments (CH3)2.
