This video demonstrates FcγRIIIa-driven events initiated by therapeutic antibodies in human natural killer cells. The artificial stimulation platform facilitates the exploration of downstream effector functions, encompassing cytoskeletal rearrangement, degranulation, chemokine/cytokine production, and signaling pathways mediated by the FcγRIIIa and Fc portions of antibodies involved in binding.
Protocol
All procedures involving sample collection have been performed in accordance with the institute's IRB guidelines. 1. Isolation of PBMCs and enrichment/purification of NK cells NOTE: Other methods for the isolation of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) and enrichment/purification can also be performed. Draw 200 mL of blood under regulated conditions into a tube containing heparin. Ad…
