Figure Lengend Snippet: Figure 4. Evaluation of IgG4 expression in CRC tumor site. (a) One representative immunohistochemistry staining of formalin fixed paraffin embedded colon cancer slides against IgG4 (brown spots). (b) Highlighted area in red was magnified and IgG4 (brown spots) are marked with white arrows. (c) Quantification of IgG4 cell positivity in ten different tumor slides. We found significantly more IgG4 positive cells in the stroma site than in the tumor site microenvironment (Paired two tails Student’s t test, p < .0001). (d) One representative IF staining of formalin fixed paraffin embedded colon cancer slides against CD38 positive B cells (green), against IgG4 (red), and against CD68 positive macrophages cells (white). (e) Highlighted area in red was magnified to show the close contact between CD38+ green B cell expressing IgG4 (red spots) and CD68+ (white) macrophages.

Article Snippet: Alternatively, a fluorescent triple staining was performed using: 1) mouse anti-human IgG4 clone HP6025 1:500 (Genway Biotech); 2) rabbit antihuman CD38 clone EPR4106 dilution 1:100 (Abcam); 3) goat anti-human CD68 clone C-18: sc-7082 dilution 1:100 (Santa Cruz Biotechnology).

Figure Lengend Snippet: Figure 5. Production of M2b-like cytokines/chemokines by M2a macrophages treated with mIgG1 or mIgG4 antibodies. The supernatants of monocyte-derived macrophages (MDM) from the PBMCs of healthy donors or primary tumor patients or metastatic tumor patients were polarized ex vivo for 72 h. M2a macrophages treated ex vivo with plate-bound myeloma IgG1 (mIgG1) or plate-bound myeloma IgG1 (mIgG4) or left untreated were evaluated by cytokine ELISA for the detection of CCL-1, IL-10 and IL-6 production. Our results showed an increase of CCL-1, IL-10 and IL-6 production by M2a macrophages treated with mIgG4, similarly to M2b-like cytokine and chemokine production. These findings were true for all PBMC donor groups. The z-normalization of pg/ml concentration was performed for each marker and each donor before the statistical validation. Gray bars: unstimulated M2a cells; white bars: M2a cells + mIgG1; black bars: M2a cells + mIgG4. The results from thirty- one independent experiments were combined for statistical analysis. One-way ANOVA with Tukey post-hoc test was performed. n.s. P > .05, * P < .05, ** P < .01, *** P < .001, **** P < .0001.

Figure Lengend Snippet: Figure 6. Anti-human EGFR-IgG1 or IgG4 subclass effects on the ADCP and ADCC of tumor cell lines by human U937 monocytes. U937 in vitro mediated mainly ADCP (a) and lower levels of ADCC (b) of EGFR differently expressing A431, HT-29 and CaCo2 tumor cell lines (c). The percentage of tumor dead cells was evaluated by flow cytometric analysis following the gating strategy represented on Repository figure 2. Black bars: A431 cells; white bars: HT-29 cells; gray bars: CaCo2 cells. The results from three independent experiments were combined for statistical analysis. One-way ANOVA with Tukey post-hoc test was performed. ** P < .01.
