koff | 10−4 s−1 | Kinetic rate constant for Ab-Ag dissociation |
[Ag0] | Calculated based on receptor number/cell | Initial antigen concentration; estimated as solution phase concentration |
[Ageff] | Calculated as described in Fig. 2 and “Experimental Procedures” | Effective antigen concentration experienced by antibody bound to cell surface receptor(s) |
rIgG | 125 Å (28, 29) | Arm to arm distance of an IgG |
rcell | 8 μm (37) | Radius of an average cell |
