Fc receptors as targets for immunotherapy.
Human membrane and soluble Fc epsilon receptors (Fc epsilon RI, Fc epsilon RII/CD23) and Fc gamma receptors (Fc gamma RI/CD64, Fc gamma RII/CD32, Fc gamma RIII/CD16) have been implicated in a number of diseases. Their functional roles such as capture and clearance of immune complexes, antibody-dependent cell cytotoxicity, or cytokine or inflammatory mediator release, make them potential targets for immuno-intervention. In the present review, we will describe how membrane and soluble human Fc epsilon R and Fc gamma R have been already used as targets/tools for immuno-interventions by using monoclonal and bispecific engineered antibodies. Some therapeutic uses of these molecules both in cancer, infectious, and auto-immune diseases are presented.
