ADCC lysis of human erythrocytes sensitized with rhesus alloantibodies. IV. Characterization of anti-D sera which are inactive in ADCC.
Certain anti-D sera, selected on the basis of their agglutination characteristics in vitro, fail to induce lysis of Rh(D) positive red cells by lymphocyte mediated antibody dependent cell mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC). Further investigation revealed that the non-lytic anti-D blocked in an antigen specific manner the effect of other anti-D sera which were normally lytic in ADCC. Absorption selection studies and fractionation of a non-lytic anti-D serum showed that the blocking effect was associated with IgG anti-D. Antigen binding and lymphocyte Fc-receptor binding studies indicated that the non-lytic anti-D was bound to Rh(D) positive red cells and enabled them to be bound by lymphocytes, but failed to mediate ADCC.
