Abstract
In this issue of Blood, Vaughan et al demonstrate that certain antibodies that are used therapeutically in lymphoma treatment (e.g., rituximab) undergo Fcg receptor IIb (FcgRIIb)–mediated internalization from the B-cell surface in a manner that is independent of activation of FcgRIIb with important implications for the design of antibody-based therapeutics (see figure).
