We describe here our development and evaluation of a human FcgRIIa (H131 variant)-specific reporter bioassay for quantifying antibody bioactivity in ADCP pathway activation. The H131 variant is able to bind all human IgG isotypes. The assay uses dual-engineered Jurkat effector cells that express the receptor and mediate FcgRIIa–dependent NFAT activation of reporter luciferase expression only when receptors are bound by target cell-bound antibodies.
