CHO cell transfectants expressing CD32A were incubated with or without fMLP (10−6 M) or PMA (50 ng/mL) for 1 h at 37°C and allowed to form rosettes with EA in ice for 2 h. Fab fragments of IV.3 (10 μg/mL) was included in some experiments. Results are expressed as mean of three experiments. Untransfected CHO cells did not form EA rosettes.

CHO, Chinese hamster ovary cells; fMLP, formyl-methionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine.
