Pilot assessment of low NK cell-mediated ADCC and<i>FCGR3A</i>genetics in myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS): Based on inclusion of family members without ME/CFS as controls, low ADCC is unsuitable as a diagnostic biomarker
2019-12-27
Abstract excerpt
ADCC (antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity) is dependent on the varying capacity of NK cells to kill, the affinities of FCGR3A -encoded CD16A receptors for antibody, and the presence of antigen-specific antibodies. In vivo ADCC depends on the number of CD16A receptor-positive NK cells in blood. We hypothesized that low ADCC cell function or low effector cell numbers could be biomarkers or risk factors for...
