Abstract

Background: The role of ROS in FcγR signal transduction is unknown. Results: Deletion of gp91phox results in decreased IL-6 production and reduced Akt activation following FcγR engagement by immune complexes. Conclusion: Production of ROS via NOX2 is required for IL-6 production following FcγR engagement of immune complexes. Significance: ROS serves as a second messenger to facilitate FcγR signal transduction. © 2013 by The American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, Inc.
