Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome protein is necessary for efficient IgG-mediated phagocytosis
1 May 2000
Abstract excerpt
Interactions between the Wiskott-Aldrich (WAS) protein (WASp), small GTPases, and the cytoskeletal organizing complex Arp2/3 appear to be critical for the transduction of signals from the cell membrane to the actin cytoskeleton in hematopoietic cells. This study shows that Fcgamma-receptor (FcgammaR)-mediated phagocytosis is impaired in WASp-deficient peripheral blood monocytes, and that in macrophages, formation...
