Background Information


Human CD32, also known as Fcγ receptor II (FcγRII), is a family of low-affinity receptors for the Fc portion of immunoglobulin G (IgG) that links antibody-mediated recognition to cellular immune responses. The family comprises three closely related receptors, CD32A (FcγRIIA), CD32B (FcγRIIB), and CD32C (FcγRIIC). They are expressed on various immune cells, including monocytes, macrophages, neutrophils, dendritic cells, and B cells, with expression patterns differing among the isoforms. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}

CD32 proteins are type I transmembrane glycoproteins belonging to the immunoglobulin superfamily. Their extracellular region contains two Ig-like domains that bind the Fc region of IgG, followed by a transmembrane segment and a cytoplasmic signaling region. CD32A and CD32C contain immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activation motifs (ITAMs), whereas CD32B contains an immunoreceptor tyrosine-based inhibitory motif (ITIM). CD32 has relatively low affinity for monomeric IgG but efficiently binds multivalent IgG-containing immune complexes. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}

The principal ligands are IgG antibodies and IgG-containing immune complexes, with receptor affinity varying according to IgG subclass and CD32 isoform. CD32A and CD32C generally promote cellular activation, phagocytosis, cytokine production, and inflammatory responses, while CD32B counterbalances these activities and helps maintain immune tolerance. :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}

Dysregulated CD32 signaling is implicated in autoimmune and inflammatory diseases, infectious disease, and cancer. In particular, CD32A genetic variants have been associated with susceptibility to several immune-mediated diseases, while CD32B contributes to regulation of B-cell and myeloid-cell activation. Therapeutically, CD32 is important both as a mediator of monoclonal-antibody activity and as a potential target itself. CD32B-directed antibodies have demonstrated antitumor activity in preclinical B-cell lymphoma models, while soluble FcγR-based approaches and CD32A antagonists are being investigated for antibody-driven autoimmune and inflammatory diseases. :contentReference[oaicite:3]{index=3}

Frequently Asked Questions


How do I determine the optimal antibody concentration/titer for my experiment?
We recommend titrating each new antibody lot on your own cell type and instrument, since optimal concentration depends on cell density, target expression level, and cytometer sensitivity. Suggested starting dilutions or test sizes (e.g., µg or µl per 10^6 cells) are provided on the product page as a starting reference point, not a fixed requirement.

Can these antibodies be used for intracellular or intranuclear staining, or only surface staining?
Intended use (surface, intracellular, or both) is specified per product, indicated under Application. The appropriate Related Protocol is linked for each product. If you need to detect both surface and intracellular markers in the same panel, confirm each antibody's compatibility with your fixation/permeabilization protocol before combining them.

What controls should I use alongside these antibodies?
Matched isotype controls (same host species, isotype, and conjugate) are available for most clones to help distinguish specific binding from background/non-specific staining and are linked on each product page. Unstained, single-color compensation, and fluorescence-minus-one (FMO) controls are also recommended, especially for multicolor panel design.

Can I combine InnoCyto Flow Cytometry antibodies into a multicolor panel?
Yes — antibodies across our catalog are designed to be panel-compatible, and conjugate options are offered specifically to support multiplexing. When building a panel, pair bright fluorophores with low-expression targets, avoid excessive spectral overlap, and confirm compensation is set up correctly for your specific fluorochrome combination. Use our Panel Builder to simplify the process.
