Three classes of Fc'}'receptors (FcR) have been identified on blood leukocytes: FcRl, FcRlI, and FcRlII. Two forms of FcRlII have recently been characterized; a phosphatidylinositollinked form is found on neutrophils, whereas a transmembrane form of the molecule is found on a subset ofperipheral blood lymphocytes. Peripheral blood monocytes express low levels of FcRlII on their surface, whereas FcRIII is readily expressed by tissue macrophages. The purpose of this investigation was to characterize the form of FcRIII expressed by normal human alveolar macrophages (AM) obtained from normal subjects by bronchoalveolar lavage. We found FcRlII expressed by AM has a molecular mass of 50 to 60 kD on sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and migrates as a single band with a molecular mass of 35 kD after digestion with endoglycosidase F. Macrophage FcRIII was resistant to cleavage by phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C. These results demonstrate that FcRlII expressed by AM is a transmembrane glycoprotein similar to the molecule found on peripheral blood lymphocytes. Scatchard binding analysis using 1251-labeled mAb 3G8 showed that AM express similar numbers of FcRlII as found on neutrophils (73,300±16,300 versus 69,300±8,500 receptor sites/cell, respectively; P= 0.73), whereas fewer binding sites were found on FcRlII-positive peripheral blood lymphocytes (35,300±13,900; P= 0.04). Of note, we found expression of FcRlII by AM was selectively and dramatically reduced during short term in vitro incubation at 37 C. Receptor shedding as a result of proteolytic cleavage is probably responsible for the reduced expression that occurs during short-term in vitro culture.Three classes of human FC'Y receptors (FcR) have been described (1, 2). They have been isolated and characterized on peripheral blood leukocytes using highly specific anti-FcR mAb. FcRI has a molecular mass of approximately 72 kD and possesses a high affinity for IgG monomer (K,= 108 to 109 M"), Two lower affinity FcR have also been described, FcRlI and FcRlII. These latter receptors do not bind IgG monomer under physiologic conditions but interact with IgG
