Abstract excerpt
C-reactive protein (CRP) is a pattern-recognition molecule, which can bind to phosphorylcholine and certain phosphorylated carbohydrates found on the surface of a number of microorganisms. CRP has been shown recently to bind human Fc receptor for immunoglobulin G (IgG; FcgammaR)I and mediate phagocytosis and signaling through the gamma-chain. To date, binding of monomeric CRP to FcgammaRII has been contentious....
