FcγRIIa Binding Assay
Creative Biolabs offers an extensive suite of sophisticated assays designed to provide our global clientele with a thorough understanding of the Fc binding characteristics of their promising antibody candidates with a specific emphasis on detailed analysis of interactions with FcγRIIa. Our comprehensive portfolio enables in-depth characterization of binding affinity, kinetics, and specificity, which is crucial for predicting in vivo efficacy and guiding the optimization of antibody therapeutics.
FcγRIIa Overview
FcγRIIa (CD32a), a low-affinity single-chain FcγR that is stimulatory but expressed on a variety of leukocytes, directly signals through ITAMs to facilitate cell-specific functions such as ADCP in macrophages, respiratory burst in neutrophils, platelet activation, and antigen presentation in dendritic cells. It frequently functions in conjunction with other stimulatory FcγRs, such as FcγRIIIa. Most importantly, a histidine/arginine polymorphism at position 131 produces three allelic variations (HH/RR/HR) with different antibody Fc binding affinities, therefore stressing the need to address FcγRIIa genotypes when designing antibody treatments with immune effector mechanisms.

Case Study
| Objective: | The study aims to measure the binding affinity of sample-1 with FcγRIIa/CD32a subtypes via the surface plasmon resonance method. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Assay Format: |
Binding and fitting curves between samples with FcγRIIa/CD32a (R167): steady-state model; Binding and fitting curves between samples with FcγRIIa/CD32a (H167): steady-state model; |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Results: |
Sample-1 binding to CD32a (R167) We employed the steady-state affinity model to analyze the binding of sample-1 to captured CD32a (R167) (as shown in Fig.2), yielding an affinity constant (KD) of 1.29 × 10-5 M. Sample-1 binding to CD32a (H167) We employed the steady-state affinity model to analyze the binding of sample-1 to captured CD32a (H167) (as shown in Fig.3), yielding an affinity constant (KD) of 4.98×10-6 M. |

Customer Review
- Je***e 11/Aug/2024 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Our preclinical research has benefited much from Creative Biolabs' FcγRIIa binding test service. Accurate and consistent data on the affinity and kinetics of our antibody candidate for both the H131 and R131 alleles gave important new perspectives on its possible effector activities. I valued the team's responsiveness as well as their perceptive direction throughout the process. Their given report was thorough, current, and understandable. Their ability to fit our particular antibody format and the clear information on the experiment settings and findings were appreciated.
