Here, we report that the MHC class I related neonatal Fc
receptor (FcRn) is expressed within azurophilic and
specific granules of neutrophils, and relocates to
phagolysosomes upon phagocytosis of IgG-opsonized
bacteria. We found FcRn to enhance phagocytosis in a pH
dependent manner which was independent of IgG recycling.
IgG-opsonized bacteria were inefficiently phagocytosed by
neutrophils from 2M knock-out or FcRn
-chain knock-out mice, which both lack expression
of FcRn. Similarly, low phagocytic activity was also
observed with mutated IgG (H435A), which is incapable of
binding to FcRn, while retaining normal binding to
classical leukocyte Fc Receptors. Finally, a TAT
peptide representing intracellular endocytosis- and
transport motifs within FcRn, strongly inhibited
IgG-mediated phagocytosis. These findings support a novel
concept in which FcRn fulfills a major role in
IgG-mediated phagocytosis.
