A whole blood-based functional assay to characterize immunoglobulin A effector functions by Alice Bacon, Celia Cartagena García, Karin A. van Schie, René E. M. Toes, Jean-Marc Busnel

“…For example, both IgA2 allotypes led to stronger modulations of CD54, CD11b, CD62L, CD66b or CD69, on both or either monocytes or neutrophils, indicating a more pronounced pro-inflammatory effect for this subclass than IgA1. By taking into account donor-specific soluble and cellular components this whole blood-based functional approach provides new perspectives to further investigate IgA effector functions in mechanistic studies and/or translational research.…”
