Transcytosis of IgG

Transcytosis is the process in which molecules are internalized by endocytosis, transported across the cell, and released through exocytosis from the opposite end of the cell. Molecules such as insulin, immunoglobulins, and certain nutrients are transferred through the recycling endosomes by recycling and transcytosis. IgG molecules from a mother undergo transcytosis starting around 13 weeks of gestation. The amount of IgG transferred and entering the fetal blood circulation increases with...

Synthesis of human monoclonal antibodies is the first step in studies aimed at unraveling the pathophysiological mechanisms of auto-antibody-mediated immune responses. We have developed a protocol to generate recombinant human immunoglobulin G (IgG) monoclonal antibodies from blood sorted B cells, including B-cell isolation, antibody cloning and in vitro synthesis.

This video demonstrates an in vitro technique for estimating amino acid uptake by bone marrow-derived stromal cells. Na+-dependent amino acid transporters mediate the uptake of radiolabeled amino acids inside the cells, and the cellular uptake is estimated by measuring the radioactivity.

Real-Time Imaging of Macrophage Phagocytosis of IgG-Opsonized Red Blood Cells

This video demonstrates an assay to monitor independent macrophage-mediated red blood cell (RBC) phagocytosis events. Mouse immunoglobulin G (IgG)-opsonized human RBCs are incubated with mouse macrophages and observed under a confocal microscope. The RBCs are engulfed by macrophages via a phagocytic cup formation and targeted for lysosomal degradation.
FAQs
The central measurement is the signal that remains after extracellular or surface-bound IgG has been removed or selectively quenched. This step is essential because labeled antibody outside the cell could be mistaken for internalized material. The resulting intracellular signal can therefore be compared across conditions to assess how much antibody enters cells rather than how much merely associates with their surfaces.
Receptor activity shapes the uptake readout by influencing how much IgG enters cells under the selected exposure conditions. Comparing cells or conditions with different receptor activity can reveal changes in internalization without treating total antibody association as equivalent to uptake. This distinction is important when interpreting whether a stronger signal reflects receptor-mediated entry or retained surface material.
Time-dependent measurements can be used to examine uptake kinetics, meaning how intracellular IgG changes during the assay. Following the signal across defined exposure conditions helps distinguish an early accumulation pattern from later trafficking or processing. Because the method can preserve antibody distribution after fixation, analysis can connect the amount of internalized IgG with its cellular localization and endosomal handling.
A typical workflow begins by exposing cells to labeled IgG for a defined period and under defined conditions. Researchers then remove or selectively quench extracellular or surface-bound antibody, leaving intracellular signal for measurement. Fixation preserves the cellular distribution, after which imaging or flow-cytometry analysis can quantify the remaining signal. Each stage supports a different part of the final interpretation.
Imaging and flow cytometry provide complementary ways to analyze the remaining intracellular signal. Imaging can preserve information about antibody distribution within fixed cells, supporting assessment of localization and cellular patterns. Flow cytometry supports quantification of signal in analyzed cells, making it useful for comparing uptake levels across defined conditions. The selected readout should match the experimental question.
The assay is useful when researchers need to evaluate antibody trafficking, receptor activity, or the behavior of therapeutic antibodies inside cells. In antibody-drug delivery studies, intracellular uptake can help assess whether an antibody reaches the cellular compartment relevant to its intended function. The approach also supports broader immunology and cell-biology investigations of endosomal processing and internalization.
