While antibodies that target this part of the virus can be neutralizing, it has been shown in recent years that Fc receptor-mediated effector functions are of significant importance for the protective effect of anti-stalk antibodies. Several assays to measure Fc-Fc receptor interaction-based effector functions like antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity and antibody-dependent cellular phagocytosis exist, but they suffer from limitations such as low throughput and high run-to-run variability. Reporter assays for antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity based on reporter cells that express luciferase upon engagement of human FcγRIIIa with the Fc of antigen-bound antibodies have been developed as well. These reporter assays can be used in a higher throughput setting with limited run-to-run assay variability but since they express only one Fc receptor, their biological relevance is unclear. Here we optimized an antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity reporter assay to measure the activity of antibodies to the conserved stalk domain of H1 hemagglutinin. The assay was then correlated to a CD107a-based degranulation assay, and a strong and significant correlation could be observed. This data suggests that the FcγRIIIa-based reporter assay is a good substitute for functional assays, especially in settings where larger sample numbers need to be analyzed. 2025-10-03T11:16:48Z 2025-10-03T11:16:48Z 2020-02 info:eu-repo/semantics/article 0264-410X https://hdl.handle.net/10259/10920 10.1016/j.vaccine.2020.01.008 1873-2518 eng Vaccine. 2020, V. 8, n. 38, p.1953–1961 https://doi.org/10.1016/j.vaccine.2020.01.008 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/ info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 Internacional Elsevier
