Human CD16B/FCGR3B/FCGRIIIb Gene, Full-length cDNA Clone in Lentivector, Endotoxin-free DNA

Description

There are 3 classes of receptors for the Fc region of IgG (FcγRs): FcγRI (CD64), FcγRII (CD32), and FcγRIII (CD16), each with multiple isoforms.  All these receptors are members of the Ig superfamily (IgSF) and they play important roles in the activation or inhibition of immune responses. FcγRI is a high-affinity receptor for IgG while both FcγRII and FcγRIII are low-affinity receptors that bind IgG in the form of immune complexes.  There are two genes for human FcγRIII: the FcγRIIIA (CD16A) gene that encodes a transmembrane receptor and the FcγRIIIB (CD16B) gene that encodes a glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchored protein. The extracellular domains (ECDs) of CD16A and CD16B share 97% amino acid sequence homology. Three allelic variants of CD16B, NA-1, NA-2, and SH, exist. Whereas CD16A is expressed on most effector cells of the immune system including macrophage, monocyte, NK cells, mast cells, eosinophils, dendritic cells and Langerhans cells, CD16B is selectively expressed in neutrophils and eosinophils. Signaling through CD16A results in oxidative burst, cytokine release and phagocytosis by macrophages, antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity by natural killer cells and degranulation of mast cells. By contrast, CD16B is a decoy receptor that binds IgG in complexes without triggering activation. A soluble form of CD16B can be produced by proteolytic cleavage and circulates in plasma and other body fluids. Soluble CD16B interacts with complement receptors CR3 and CR4 on monocytes to induce the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines.

 

 

Gene Symbol: CD16b; FCGR3B; FCG3; CD16; FCGR3; FCR-10; FCRIII; FCRIIIb

 

NCBI Gene ID: 2215

 

Uniprot Entry: O75015

 

Construct Details: Full length human CD16B/FCGR3B gene (encoding UniProt #O75015) is subcloned into the Lentiviral expression vector pLTC with an upstream CMV promoter and with or without a selection marker, which can be used for both transient and stable expression in mammalian cells.  It can be co-transfected with the LentiPAK DNA mix (SKU# LP-001) into HEK293 cells to produce high titer lentiviral particles. Multiple choices of a stable antibiotic selection marker are available.

 

Vector Type: pLTC or pLTC-IRES-Marker (lentiviral expression vector containing a heterologous CMV promoter +/- a selection marker, see the vector map above)

 

Formulation: Supplied with 10 μg of endotoxin-free plasmid DNA at 200 ng/μl in sterile TE buffer (pH8.0)

Primers: Gene insert coding sequence can be confirmed by following primers:

(a) forward (or 5'-end) primer: 5’-CAAATGGGCGGTAGGCGTG-3’;

(b) reverse (or 3'-end) primer: 5’-CCAGGTTTCCGGGCCCTCAC-3’

 

 

Note: The sequence may vary due to the naturally occurring variants or mutations, such as single nucleotide polymorphism, or the artifact during PCR amplification.  High fidelity PCR systems should always be used.
