Abstract excerpt
In primates and rodents, the extended FcR family is comprised of three subsets: classical FcRs, structurally diverse cell surface receptors currently designated FCRL1-FCRL6, and intracellular proteins FCRLA and FCRLB. Using bioinformatic analysis, we revealed the FcR-like genes of the same three subsets in the genome of dog, another representative of placental mammals, and in the genome of short-tailed opossum, a...
