Abstract
Safety and efficacy of therapeutic antibodies are often dependent on their interaction with Fc receptors for IgG (FcγRs). The Göttingen minipig represents a valuable species for biomedical research but its use in preclinical studies with therapeutic antibodies is hampered by the lack of knowledge about the porcine FcγRs. Genome analysis and sequencing now enabled the localization of the previously described FcγRIIIa in the orthologous location to human FCGR3A. In addition, we identified nearby the gene coding for the hitherto undescribed putative porcine FcγRIIa. The 1'241 bp long FCGR2A cDNA translates to a 274aa transmembrane protein containing an extracellular region with high similarity to human and cattle FcγRIIa. Like in cattle, the intracellular part does not contain an immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activation motif (ITAM) as in human FcγRIIa. Flow cytometry of the whole blood and single-cell RNA sequencing of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) of Göttingen minipigs revealed the expression profile of all porcine FcγRs which is compared to human and mouse. The new FcγRIIa is mainly expressed on platelets making the minipig a good model to study IgG-mediated platelet activation and aggregation. In contrast to humans, minipig blood monocytes were found to express inhibitory FcγRIIb that could lead to the underestimation of FcγR-mediated effects of monocytes observed in minipig studies with therapeutic antibodies.
