| Gene and Protein Information Comments | ||||||
| There are three transcript variants of the human FCER2 gene, giving rise to two protein isoforms: FCER2a (321aa) and FCERb (320aa). We provide details for the longest protein isoform from the mouse gene, but others have been detected. Like the human gene, the rat gene produces two protein isoforms: isoform a (331aa) and isoform b (310aa). | ||||||

| Antibody Comments | ||
| A monoclonal antibody targeting FCER2 (CD23) was developed by IDEC Pharmaceuticals as an immunomodulating therapeutic for the potential treament of allergic asthma [5-6] and as a treatment for chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). Development in both indications was terminated due to failure to meet primary endpoints in clinical trials [1,3]. |
| Immunopharmacology Comments |
| FcεRII (CD23) is the low-affinity receptor for immunoglobulin E (IgE) with a Kd > 100nM. This protein is a C-type lectin found on mature B cells, activated macrophages, eosinophils, follicular dendritic cells, and platelets. It has no structural similarities with other Fc receptors. FcεRII has functions as both a membrane-bound and as a soluble receptor [4,7]. Functions include regulation of B cell growth and differentiation and of the effector phase of IgE-mediated immunity. It is also involved in regulating IgE production [7]. FcεRII is used as an immunohistological diagnostic marker to differentiate chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) from mantle cell leukemia [2], as most B-cell CLLs and low-grade B-cell lymphomas are FcεRII +ve, whereas lymphomas arising from the mantle zone are generally FcεRII -ve. FcεRII has been investigated as a clinical drug target the potential treament of allergic asthma [5-6] and as a treatment for chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). Development in both indications was terminated due to failure to meet primary endpoints in clinical trials [1,3]. The agent tested in these trials was lumiliximab (IDEC-152, a chimeric Macaca irus- human monoclonal antibody) developed by IDEC Pharmaceuticals. |
