The expression of surface Fc.gamma.2b/.gamma.1R [Fc receptor specific for IgG2b and IgG1 aggregates] by lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-activated murine spleen cells, the release of soluble Fc.gamma.2b/.gamma.1R by activated spleen cells, and the presence of circulating Fc.gamma.2b/.gamma.1R in mouse serum were evaluated. LPS activation of murine spleen cells and a cloned B cell line, BCL-1 CW 13.20-3B3, resulted in a 5- to 10-fold increase in surface Fc.gamma.2b/.gamma.1R and the concomitant appearance in the culture medium of a soluble molecule that is antigenically related to the Fc.gamma.2b/.gamma.1R. The increase in cell-associated and soluble Fc.gamma.2b/.gamma.1R after LPS activation is attributable primarily to B cells. Circulating Fc.gamma.2b/.gamma.1R was also detected in normal mouse serum at a concentration of 10-9 to 10-8 M. Levels of circulating Fc.gamma.2b/.gamma.1R increased with the age of the animals, and were low in adult germ-free mice and elevated in young mice with certain autoimmune diseases. The circulating Fc.gamma.2b/.gamma.1R bound to IgG-Sepharose, and was partially purified by affinity chromatography on 2.4G2 Fab-Sepharose. After radiolabeling and immunoprecipitation with rabbit anti-Fc.gamma.2b/.gamma.1R serum, 1 component, of MW 48,000, was detected.
