Human Fc receptors: critical targets in the treatment of autoimmune diseases and transplant rejections.

Abstract excerpt

The receptors for the Fc region of immunoglobulins (FcR) are members of the immunoglobulin superfamily. They are expressed on various hematopoietic cells and constitute a link between humoral and cell-mediated immunity. The activation and downmodulation of immune responses are controlled by signals from activating and inhibitory FcR, expressed on the surface of immune cells. The signaling regions, defined as...
