Fig. 6From: HIF activation enhances FcγRIIb expression on mononuclear phagocytes impeding tumor targeting antibody immunotherapyFcγR expression on tumor associated mononuclear phagocytes. a, Representative histograms showing FcγR expression on fresh donor matched peripheral blood (PB) and pleural fluid (PF) monocytes from a single mesothelioma patient. b, FcγRIIb expression (left) and FcγR A:I ratio (right) were quantified for PB and PF monocytes (FSChiCD45+CD14+ cells) sourced from mesothelioma patients using flow cytometry (n = 6 per group). c, Representative histograms showing expression of FcγRIIb on fresh monocytes isolated from lymphocele taken from 3 breast cancer patients. d, Representative histograms showing FcγRIIb expression on fresh donor matched renal monocytes (FSChiCD45+CD14+ cells) and macrophages (FSChiCD45+CD163+ cells) in normal kidney tissue and tumor from a single renal cell carcinoma (RCC) patient. e, FcγRIIb expression (left) and FcγR A:I ratio (right) were quantified for monocytes and macrophages sourced from normal kidney tissue and donor matched RCC specimens using flow cytometry (n = 5 per group). f, Representative histograms showing FcγRIIb expression on splenic and MCA205, CT26 and EG7 tumor associated CD11b+F4/80+ macrophages. g, Comparison of murine FcγRII expression (left) and FcγR A:I ratio (right) on CD11b+Ly6C+ monocytes and h, CD11blo/F4/80+ macrophages in recipient matched spleen and subcutaneous MCA205, CT26 and EG7 tumors (n = 5–9 per group). Each point on the graphs represents a unique human subject or mouse and bars represent group means. Statistical significance between groups was assessed using a paired two-tailed Wilcoxon test (*p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001, ****p < 0.0001 and ns = non-significant). i, Immunofluorescence staining of hypoxic regions using hypoxyprobe (hypoxia probe) and anti-mouse FcγRII, on sections taken from a CT26 tumor. Localization of FcγRII expression in hypoxic regions is shown. Images representative of stained sections from 5 different mice. Scale bars 100 μm.
