FcgammaRIIA exogenously expressed in HeLa cells activates the mitogen-activated protein kinase cascade by a mechanism dependent on the endogenous expression of the protein tyrosine kinase Syk.

Abstract excerpt

HeLa cells transfected to express the human Fc receptor FcgammaRIIA were stimulated with aggregates of IgG, IgG-ovalbumin equivalence immune complexes and monoclonal antibody reacting with FcgammaRIIA. All of these stimuli activated the cells as judged from the band-shift characteristic of the activation of the p42-MAP/ERK kinase. Since this response is currently associated with the activation of the protein...
