Abstract excerpt
Lack of a simple, high throughput antibody-dependent cellular phagocytosis (ADCP) assay has limited our understanding of its potential role of in hepatitis C (HCV) infection. Here, we optimised a flow-cytometry based ADCP assay using HCV envelope (E2)-protein coated microbeads that were opsonised with anti-E2 monoclonal IgG antibody (αE2 mAb) and the THP-1 monocyte cell line as effector cells. We found...
