Abstract excerpt
Leukocyte IgG receptors (Fc gamma R) are important immune-response modulating molecules. Fc gamma RIIIa is expressed on macrophages, NK-cells and gamma delta-T cells and exhibits a genetically determined, functional polymorphism at nucleotide 559. This allelic difference predicts either a phenylalanine (F158) or valine (V158) at amino acid 158 in the membrane-proximal extracellular domain, and has been shown to...
