Abstract

Previous studies have shown that Ebola virus' secretory glycoprotein (sGP) binds to FcγRIHB (CD16b) and inhibits L-selectin shedding. In this study, we test the hypothesis that sGP interferes with the physical linkage between CR3 and FcγRIIIB. Neutrophils were stained with rhodamine-conjugated anti-CD16b mAb (which does not inhibit sGP binding) and fluorescein- conjugated anti-CR3 mAb reagents and then incubated in media with or without sGP. Physical proximity between fluorochrome-labeled CR3 and FcγRIIIB on individual cells was measured by resonance energy transfer (RET) imaging, quantitative RET microfluorometry, and single-cell imaging spectrophotometry. Cells incubated with control supernatants displayed a significant RET signal, indicative of physical proximity (
