Aggregated immunoglobulin and Fc fragment of IgG induce IL-6 release from human monocytes
Cellular Immunology, 1990The Fc fragment of immunoglobulin (Ig) has been shown to play an important role in the regulation of humoral immunity, cellular immunity, lymphocyte and monocyte activation, and immune mediator secretion. We wished to determine if Ig or Fc fragments would induce IL-6 production from monocytes.

Human Immunoglobulin A: Production of an Fc Fragment by an Enteric Microbial Proteolytic Enzyme
The Journal of Immunology, 1973Summary An Fc fragment has been prepared in good yield by proteolytic cleavage of human secretory and serum myeloma IgA with an enzyme recovered from the human gastrointestinal tract. The naturally occurring enzyme is of microbial origin and its activity is metal dependent.

[Isolation of FAB and Fc fragments from murine immunoglobulin G1].
Biulleten' eksperimental'noi biologii i meditsiny, 1979Two methods of isolating Fab- and Fc-fragments from mouse immunoglobulin G1 are presented. The first method involves fractionation of papain protein hydrolysate on a column with DEAE- (or DE-32)-cellulose adjusted with 0.005 M K-phosphate buffer, pH 8. The Fab-fragment was eluted from the column with the starting buffer.

Expression of Fc fragment receptors of immunoglobulin G (Fc gammaRs) in rat hepatic stellate cells.
Digestive diseases and sciences, 2005Hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) are now considered the major cell type in the liver mediating the development of liver fibrosis. Recently it was demonstrated that HSCs express membrane proteins involved in antigen presentation. We further evaluate immunological properties of HSCs by examining the expression and function of the Fc fragment of ...

Production of an Fc Fragment from Human Immunoglobulin a by an IgA-Specific Bacterial Protease
1974Enzymatic proteolysis of human immunoglobulin A yields Fabα fragments but the Fcα is degraded to small peptides. The unavailability of Fcα has hampered to some extent certain studies of IgA, e.g., its primary structure and the attachment site of secretory component and J chain.

Bacterial Proteins and Their Proposed Interactions with Fc or Fab Fragments of Immunoglobulins
Biochemistry & Physiology: Open Access, 2014The reactivity of Immunoglobulin Binding Proteins (IBP) to Fc and/or Fab fragments of immunoglobulins was summarized in this review. Staphylococcal protein A (SpA), Streptococcal protein G and Peptostreptococcal protein L (SpL) were the IBP reported. SpA reacted with IgG from skunk, coyote, raccoon, mule and donkey.
