Abstract

IgE binds to two types of Fc receptors, called Fc epsilon R1 (or high-affinity Fc epsilon R) and Fc epsilon R2 (or low-affinity Fc epsilon R). The Fc epsilon R1 is composed of four polypeptide chains, one alpha, one beta, and two gamma chains. The alpha chain contains the IgE binding site and is a member of the immunoglobulin supergene family. The Fc epsilon R2, also called CD23, consists of one polypeptide chain which shows homology to animal lectin receptors. Fc epsilon R1 are expressed on mast cells and basophils. Crosslinking of the Fc epsilon R1 induces immediate release of mediators of inflammation such as histamine and leukotrienes and delayed secretion of interleukins 4, 5, and 6. Fc epsilon R2 are expressed on resting mu delta + B cells, monocytes/macrophages (M phi), eosinophils, and platelets but rarely on T cells. Interleukin-4 upregulates Fc epsilon R2 expression on B cells and M phi. The functions of Fc epsilon R2 on the different cell types are not fully established and are controversial. Fc epsilon R2 on M phi, eosinophils, and platelets mediate cytotoxicity to schistosomules, enhance phagocytosis, and induce the release of granule enzymes. However, M phi from patients with atopic dermatitis expressing significantly more Fc epsilon R2 than M phi from normals do not release more leukotriene C4, prostaglandin E2, or beta-glucuronidase after incubation with aggregated IgE than normal monocytes. Furthermore, aggregated IgG1 is much more efficient than IgE in inducing mediator release from M phi and IgG1 antibodies are not known to induce immediate-type hypersensitivity reactions. Therefore, definitive proof that Fc epsilon R2 are involved in the pathogenesis of allergic disorders is still lacking. IL-4 appears to play a central role in immediate-type hypersensitivity. It induces human B cells to secrete IgE and IgG4, Ig isotypes typical for antibodies to helminthic parasites and allergens. IL-4 stimulates mast cell growth and upregulates Fc epsilon R2 expression. Interferon-gamma and IL-2 inhibit the IL-4-induced IgG4 and IgE secretion. Whether the abnormally high IgE antibody production in atopic patients is the result of overproduction of IL-4 or deficient IFN-gamma/IL-2 production is presently unknown.
